Pavement Management

Pavement management is the process of planning the maintenance and repair of a roadway network or other paved infrastructure to improve road conditions throughout the network. It is also used on runways and airports. Every highway superintendent undertakes walkway management. Traffic management includes the cost of living cycles in a systematic way of repairing minor and major roads and reconstruction projects. The needs of the entire network and budget estimates are considered before the projects are undertaken, as the cost of data collection can change significantly. Pavement management incorporates many of the features and functions required to maintain the quality of the paved material as well as to ensure that the entire road network can sustain itself at the required levels. Although pedestrian management involves the life cycle of commuting from planning to maintenance of any transport infrastructure, road asset management, and road maintenance planning is primarily aimed at road infrastructure.

Discuss about the effect of overloading of trucks to the pavement condition.
A road can be paved with either asphalt or concrete. Concrete costs $15,000/km and lasts 20 years. What is the maximum that should be spent on asphalt if it only lasts 10 years? Annual maintenance costs for both pavements are $500/km. MARR = 12%. Demonstrate through real life examples a bridge management software you know.

A six lane divided highway is to be designed to replace an existing highway. The present AADT (both directions) of 6000 vehicles is expected to grow at 5% per year. Assume SN = 4 and pt = 2.5. The percent of traffic on the design lane is 45%. Determine the design ESAL if the design life is 20 years and the vehicle mix is:Passenger cars (4.44kN/axle) = 60%2-axle single unit trucks (22.2kN/axle) = 30%3-axle single unit trucks (31.11kN/axle) = 10%
Assume the OPI of non-interstate highways in the district is 70. The total lane-miles of interstate in this district are 500 miles while the total line-miles of non-interstate highways are 3,500 miles. What is the OPI of all pavements in the district?
(i) It is proposed to widen and strengthen the existing 2-lane NH section as a divided highway. The existing traffic in one direction is 2500 commercial vehicles (CV) per day. The construction will take 1 year. The design CBR of soil subgrade is found tobe 5 per cent. Given : traffic growth rate for CV = 8 per cent, vehicle damage factor =3.5 (standard axles per CV), design life = 10 years and traffic distribution factor =0.75. Calculate the cumulative standard axles.
What are the suggested thicknesses for an asphalt concrete surface parking area for heavy trucks on gravelly or sandy well-drained soils? 1. Calculate the metric tons of asphalt concrete required to pave 2 km of roadway 4 m wide and 80 mm thick. The density of the paving material is 2370 kg/m3. 2. Calculate the compacted tons per hour of asphalt concrete if a 4.5-ft-wide roller traveling at 3 mph over a 3-in.-thick lift requires five passes to achieve a required density of 147.6 pcf. (The project field conditions are average.)

A civil engineer found that the durability dd of the road, she is laying depends on two functions y1 and y2 as follows: d=y2+4y1−21. Functions y1 and y2 depend on the amount of plastic (x) mixed in bitumen, and their variations are linear functions of x. Let y1=8 and y2=3 for x=0 and y1=0 and y2=7 for x=7. Find the durability of the road (upto 2 decimal points), if the amount of plastic is such that both the functions are equal.
