plaza in Laguna as part of expressway extension based on the following data:
1. 20-year analysis period
2.
Bus AADT = 2586 and Truck AADT = 4963
3. Traffic growth rate = 6.5%
4. Subgrade CBR = 5.0, Aggregate subbase ESB = 15000, Loss of Support = 1.0
5.
Bus LEF= 0.70 and Truck LEF = 1.60
6. Terminal Serviceability Pt = 2.5
7. APSI = 2.0
8. For concrete f'c = 3500 psi
9. Reliability = 95%
10. So = 0.45
11. Sc= 510, z = 1.282, Sds = 100
12. Dowelled pavement, J = 3.2
13. Thickness of Subbase = 10" (250 mm)

- An old 6-lane (3 lanes each direction) rural freeway segment has 11 ft lanes and frequent roadside obstructions located 10 ft from the right edge of the pavement. What is the estimated FFS (mph) for the 3 northbound lanes? Provide the answer to the nearest tenths.arrow_forwardPlease answer a & b. Thank You Will UPVOTE once answered Correctly!arrow_forwardStep by step solutionProblem 3: A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) operates at capacity during the peak hour. It has 11-ft lanes, 5-ft shoulders, and there are 3 ramps within 3 miles upstream of the segment midpoint and 3 ramps within 3 miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The freeway is on rolling terrain and has 10% heavy vehicles with a PHF of 0.9. It is known that 15% of the AADT occurs in the peak hour and the directional factor is 0.7. Determine: (a) Heavy vehicle adjustment factor(b) Free-flow speed(c) Capacity(d) Volume-to-capacity ratio(e) Density and LOS(f) AADT(g) What is the highest possible value of the heavy vehicle adjustment factor? (h) If the volume exceeds capacity, what is the LOS? Note: No need to show calculations for (g) and (h).arrow_forward
- QUESTION 8 The 3 eastbound lanes of a rural freeway segment have 11 ft lane widths. There is a 3 ft lateral clearance on the right side of the road. There are no ramps within the influence area. What is the estimated FFS (mph)? Provide your answer to the nearest tenths.arrow_forwardA section of a two-lane rural highway is to be realigned and replaced by a four-lane highway with a full-depth asphalt pavement. The AADT (both ways) on the existing section can be represented by 750 ESAL. It is expected that construction will be completed 5 years from now. If the traffic growth rate is 2 percent and the effective CBR of the subgrade on the new alignment is 9.0, determine a suitable depth of the asphalt pavement (in inches) using the AASHTO method. Take the design life of the pavement as 20 years. The resilient modulus of the asphalt (EAC) is 450,000 lb/in. ². Assume m; for the subgrade is 1 and the percent of traffic on the design lane is 45 percent. Use a reliability level of 90 percent, a standard deviation of 0.45, and a design serviceability loss of 2.0. 8.25 inchesarrow_forward
