Concept explainers

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.

Question

Traffic loading, material characteristics and environmental conditions, are among the factors that influence pavement performance. Environmental conditions can have a particularly significant impact on the performance of low-volume road pavements. Discuss how environment conditions can effect at Cameron Highland road.

Don't attempt wrong , downvote for incorrect solution. A flexible pavement is known to have a structural number of 4.0 and a soil resilient modulus of 10,000 psi. If a pavement structure is to be designed for a life of 15 years, a reliability of 95% and an overall standard deviation of 0.35, how many passes of a design vehicle with a 18,000 lb single axle and a 34,000 lb tandem axle can be driven on the pavement per day? The pavement's initial PSI is 4.2 with a TSI of 2.5.
Compute the modulus of elasticity of the pavement if the modulus of elasticity of the subgrade is90 MPa with a stiffness factor of 0.55
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.
