The AADTT of a 2-way (2-lane each way) highway is 10,000. The directional distribution may vary between 45 and 55% depending on season. The lane distribution may vary between 60 and 75%. The driving lane always carries more loads compared to the passing lane. The growth factor for the pavement is 3.5%. Based on the above information, calculate the design AADTT for the driving lane if the pavement service life is 20 years.

A pavement was designed to have 50 mm bituminous surface course, bituminous binder course 190 mm, 200 mm crushed aggregate road base, and 150 mm granular subbase. The designed was based on the number of ESALs for the base year is 1.4 million, design period is 20 years and average annual traffic growth factor is 4.5%. Using these data: Determine the Subgrade modulus design input value and Estimate the design traffic (ESAL DES).

Q2: The traffic on the design lane of a proposed four-lane rural interstate highway consists of 40% trucks. If classification studies have shown that the truck factor can be taken as 0.45, design a suitable flexible pavement using the 1993 AASHTO procedure if the AADT on the design lane during the first year of operation is 1150, pi = 4.5, and pt = 2.5 . Growth rate = 3% Design life = 20 years Reliability level = 95% Standard deviation = 0.45 The pavement structure will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation 20% of the time, and it will take about one week for drainage of water. Effective CBR of the subgrade material is 7. CBR of the base and subbase are 70 and 22, respectively, and Mr for the asphalt mixture, 3102 MPa (450,000 lb/in2).
