An existing rural 4-lane highway is to be replaced by a 6-lane divided expressway (3 lanes in each direction). Traffic volume data on the highway indicate that the AADT (both directions) during the first year of operation is 24,000 with the following vehicle mix and axle loads. Passenger cars = 50 percent 2-axle single-unit trucks (12,000 lb/axle) = 40 percent 3-axle single-unit trucks (16,000 lb/axle) = 10 percent The vehicle mix is expected to remain the same throughout the design life of 20 years, although traffic is expected to grow at a rate of 3.5 percent annually. Using the AASHTO design procedure, determine the minimum depth of concrete pavement required for the design period of 20 years.
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.
26. Refer to Figure 8 Design 1A attached. For the design of a 4-lane interstate highway, the damage analysis shown in the figure was performed for a 9.5-inch thick slab according to the PCA design approach. This analysis indicates that the 9.5-inch thick slab: a. Only satisfies the fatigue damage condition b. Only satisfies the erosion damage condition c. Satisfies both fatigue damage and erosion damage conditions. d. None of the above the
A 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 inches
