Question

A flexible pavement is constructed with 225 mm (8.86 inches) wearing surface of hot-mix
asphalt with high rut resistance, 275 mm (10.83 inches) of recycled mixture base (MR5 with
emulsion) and 1075 mm (42.32 inches) of crushed stone (MG112) subbase.
The subgrade has an effective roadbed soil resilient modulus of 20 MPa (2900 psi), and m2 and
m3 are equal to 0.8 for the base and subbase.
The overall standard deviation is 0.45, the initial PSI is 4.25 and the TSI (terminal serviceability
index) is 2.5.

The materials properties are as follows:
Resilient modulus of HMA = 3 592 MPa (or 521 000 psi);
Resilient modulus of base (MR5 with emulsion) = 146 MPa (or 21 175 psi);
Resilient modulus of subbase (MG-112) = 74 MPa (or 10 700 psi);
a) How many 18-kip (80-KN) single-axle loads can be carried before the pavement reaches
its TSI (terminal serviceability index) if you wanted to be 90% confident that your
estimate was not too high.
b) Considering a total average daily 18-kip ESAL of 3 215, how many years would you
estimate this pavement would last (how long before its PSI drops below a TSI of 2.5).
c) How many years would you estimate this pavement would last if you wanted to be 99%
confident.

4.13) A rigid pavement is being designed with the same parameters as used in Problem 4.5. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 300 1b/in? and the slab thickness is determined to be 8.5 inches. The load transfer coefficient is 3.0, the drainage coefficient is 1.0, and the modulus of elasticity is 4 million Ib/in?. What is the design modulus of rupture?

An interstate highway pavement composed of asphalt surface course, cement treated base course and sand- gravel subbase course is to be designed for an ESAL of 1.2 x 10%. The quality of drainage is considered fair because water can be removed from the subbase within a week. However, there is a large amount of precipitation, so more than 25% of the time the pavement will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation. The materials properties are as follows: effective roadbed soil resilient modulus = 5500 psi, resilient modulus of subbase = 15000 psi, unconfined compressive strength of cement-treated base = 500 psi and resilient modulus of asphalt layer 4.3 x 10 psi. Determine the thicknesses of surface, base and subbase courses.
