Design of pavements

Pavement is a structure that is made up of different layers such as sub-base course layer, base course layer, binder course, and a surface course formed with different materials such as gravel, above the subgrade soil constructed to act as a path or carriageway enabling the movement of vehicles. The surface of the pavement should possess characteristics such as adequate friction, light reflection, and drainage. The pavements are classified based on structural design into rigid pavements, flexible pavements, composite pavements, and unpaved pavements. The process of determining a suitable pavement type, its constituent layers, and its thickness is called pavement design.

If pavement and sub grade are considered as two layer system a stiff factor is to be introduced to take into account the different values of modulus of elasticity of the two layers. if the modulus of elasticity of the subgrade is 100 kg/cm2 and the modulus of elasticity of the pavement is 1000kg/cm2, what is the stiffness factor ?
A flexible pavement is constructed with 4 inches of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearing surface, 8 inches of emulsion/aggregate-bituminous base, and 8 inches of crushed stone subbase. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 10,000 lb/in^2, and M2 and M3 are equal to 1.0 for the materials in the pavement structure. The overall standard deviation is 0.5, the initial PSI is 4.5, and the TSI is 2.5. The daily traffic has 1080 20-kip single axles,400 24-kip single axles, and 680 40-kip tandem axles. How many years would you estimate this pavement would last (how long before its PSI drops below a TSI of 2.5) if you wanted to be 99%confident that your estimate was not too high
You have been asked to design the pavement for an access highway to a major truck terminal. The design daily truck traffic consists of the following: 80 single axles at 22,500 lb each, 570 tandem axles at 25,000 lb each, 50 tandem axles at 39,000 lb each, and 80 triple axles at 48,000 lb each. The highway is to be designed with rigid pavement having a modulus of rupture of 600 lb/in2 and a modulus of elasticity of 5 million lb/in2. The reliability is to be 95%, the overall standard deviation is 0.4, the drainage coefficient is 0.9, ΔPSI is 1.7 (with a TSI of 2.5), and the load transfer coefficient is 3.2. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 200 lb/in3. If a 20-year design life is to be used, determine the required slab thickness.
Mechanistic design procedure is based on the assumption that a pavement can be modelled as multi-layered elastic or viscoelastic. Discuss the combination of Visco-elastic considerations assumption in pavement design procedure.

A rigid pavement is on a highway with two lanes in one direction, and the pavement is conservatively designed. The pavement has an 11-inch slab with a modulus of elasticity of 5,000.000 lb/in2 and a concrete modulus of rupture of 700 lb/in2, and it is on a soil with a CBR of 25. The design drainage coefficient is 1.0, the overall standard deviation is 0.3, and the load transfer coefficient is 3.0. The pavement was designed to last 20 years (initial PSI of 4.7 and a final PSI of 2.5) with 95% reliability carrying trucks with one 18-kip single axle and one 28-kip tandem axle. However, after the pavement was designed, one more lane was added in the design direction (conservative design still used), and the weight limits on the trucks were increased to a 20-kip single and a 34-kip tandem axle (the slab thickness was unchanged from the original two-lane design with lighter trucks). If climate change has caused the drainage coefficient to drop to 0.8, how long will the pavement last with the…
