DESIGN OF A RIGID PAVEMENT

  1. Give a summary of rigid pavement design procedure by AASHTO method (1993), and describe the variables used in the method.
  2. Explain the CBR test; how to conduct the test and its purposes. Where are the usages of test results in practical applications? Explain its advantages and disadvantages.
  3. Determine the thickness of a rigid pavement (thickness of concrete slab) by using the data provided below:

DATA PROVIDED:

  1. Cumulative 18kips ESAL = 5.000.000
  2. Overall standard deviation = 0.3
  3. Reliability = 95%
  4. Design serviceability loose =1.7
  5. Drainage coefficient = 1
  6. Load transfer coefficient = 3.2
  7. Mean concrete modulus of rupture = 650 psi
  8. Elastic modulus of the concrete to be used = 5.000.000psi
  9. Results of CBR test on subgrade material in the laboratory (Table 1):

10. Standard force-penetration data.
