Supposed you have a material engineer and you have to design flexible pavement.
The following figure shows concrete pavement with the layer thickness and elastic modulus as indicated. Assume modulus of rupture of 650 psi, load transfer coefficient of 3.2, serviceability loss from 4.5 to 2.5, and drainage coefficient of 0.9. The bedrock depth and loss of support is not considered for the subgrade. Use the design equation or monograph with 50% reliability to solve the following: 1) Determine the number of ESAL that the pavement can carry before failure. 2) If the daily traffic has 1080 single axles (20-kip), 400 single axles (24-kip), and 680 tandem axles (40-kip), and the annul traffic is the same over the design period, how many years would the concrete pavement last before failure? 8-inch Portland Cement Concrete Ec=4×106 psi 8-inch Granular Subbase Ec=30,000 psi Subgrade Mr = 5000 psi
Problem No. 1A flexible pavement for an urban interstate highway is to be designed using the AASHTOmethod to carry a design ESAL of 3 x 106. It is estimated that it takes about a week for water tobe drained from within the pavement and the pavement structure will be exposed to moisturelevels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. The following additional information is available: Elastic modulus of asphalt concrete = 450,000 psiResilient modulus of base material = 35,000 psiResilient modulus of subbase material = 15,000 psiCBR of subgrade material = 8(a) Consider designing the same pavement with only asphalt concrete and base layer (excluding subbase layer). Use the information provided in Problem 1. (b) Compare strengths and weaknesses of each design.
What are the objectives of the asphalt concrete mix-design process?
An agency uses the following formula to determine pavement condition rating, PCR = 99.3 5.51 (5.0-ROUGH) 1.59 LNALL 0.221 AVGOUT 0.0306 LONG where we have the following. ROUGH = roughness measured by present serviceability rating (PSR), scale of 0 to 5 LNALL = natural logarithm of alligator cracking, ft per mile AVGOUT = outer wheel path rutting (all locations averaged), 0.01 inch LONG = longitudinal cracking, ft per mile TRAN = transverse cracking, number of cracks per mile And, present serviceability rating is determined as the following. PSR = 5e-0.0051118 IRI-0.0016027 A pavement section has the following distress data. IRI = 106 in./mi Alligator cracking 110 ft/mi Average rutting = 0.20 in. Longitudinal cracks = 130 ft/mi Transverse cracks = 12/mi Determine the current PCR for this section. PCR = 0.531 TRAN, Now, assume a new roughness measurement is expected soon. When PCR falls below 60, the section will be scheduled for rehabilitation. Determine the new IRI value (in in./mi)…
