Improvement and design of roads for the transportation of livestock products
As every productive activity so the animal husbandry requires management and connection with the grassland environment and resources. Because of the transportation of animals and rough ages must be fast and safe, a good and durable road network is required. For this reason the forest engineer must calculate the strength of soil (CBR) the type of vehicles (two or three axles) and the load as equivalent axles and to, design an aggregate surfaced road for the increase of bearing capacity with the help of USDA equation. In this paper a such design for the grasslands of Iasmos Rodopis is presented.
