FOREWORD

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is the first comprehensive Standard Detail Drawings document prepared for the use and technical
guidance for design personnel of the Ethiopian Roads Authority and consultants doing structural design
for the Authority. However, it may also be used as a guide by other agencies undertaking relevant work
in the road sector.

This Standard Detail Drawings-2001 document is based on a review of the design standards of several
countries, among which are AASHTO, ITE, FHA, TRB (USA), EBCS (Ethiopia), Swedish Standards and
Australian Standards.

The Ethiopian Roads Authority has prepared this Standard Document under a credit from the
International Development Agency (IDA) for design of new roads and structures and for the
rehabilitation of existing ones in order to standardize design practices in all ERA design works.

In the selection of the appropriate Standard Detail Drawings for Ethiopia, material from these and other
sources have been gleaned and evaluated to determine the set of standards most appropriate for Ethiopia
and Ethiopian conditions.

The road network comprises a huge national asset that requires adherence to appropriate standards for
design, construction and maintenance in order to provide a high level of service. As the length of the
engineered road network is increasing, appropriate choice of methods to preserve this investment
becomes increasingly important.

The authors of the manual are listed in the preface.

This standard drawing document shall be used in conjunction with the other ERA Design Manuals-2001.
The design standards set out in this Manual shall be adhered to unless otherwise directed by the
concerned bodies with in ERA. However, I will like to emphasize that careful consideration to sound
engineering practice shall be observed in the use of the Manual, and under no circumstances shall the
Manual waive professional judgment in applied engineering. For simplification in reference this Manual
may be cited as ERA Standard Detail Drawings2001.
It is my sincere hope that these standard drawings will provide all users with both a standard reference
and a ready source of good practice for the design of roads, and will assist in a cost effective operation,
and environmentally sustainable development of our road network.
I look forward to the practices contained in this Manual being quickly adopted into our operations,
thereby making a sustainable contribution to the improved infrastructure of our country.
As this Manual due to Technological development and change, requires periodic updating, comments
and suggestions on all aspects from any concerned body, group or individual as feedback during its
implementation is expected and will be highly appreciated.
