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.

Q1A In a Marshall test, the percentage of asphalt binder by total weight of aggregate is 5.3%. The bulk specifc gravity of aggregate (G)-2.582, the specifc gravity of asphalt binder (G)=1.000, and the density of water 3 (Yw)=1.000 g/cm. If the voids flled with asphalt (VFA) is 70.0% and the effective asphalt binder (Pbe) is 4.0% by total weight of mixture, determine the following properties: a. The absorbed asphalt binder (Pba) b. The bulk specifc gravity of the compacted mixture (Gmb) c. The voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) d. The voids in total mixture (VTM) e. The theoretical maximum specifc gravity of the loose mixture (Gmm) The effective specifc gravity of the aggregate (Gse) ال
A pavement consists of 5 inches of asphalt underlain by a crushed stone based course. There is no sub base. The asphalt has an elastic modulus of 350,000 psi at room temperature and the base course has a CBR of 70. Determine the thickness of the crushed stone base needed to reach an SN of 2.85. Assume the base course is saturated 5% of the time and drains within a day.

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.
Group 2 Q4: State whether the following statements are true or false: 1. Higher values of asphalt penetration test indicate softer consistency, and this asphalt is preferred for use in hot climate areas. 2. In AASHTO soil classification system, the group index (GI) is incorporated with the groups and subgroups of the soil to evaluate the type of a soil. 3. The asphalt material behaves more similar to a viscous fluid at intermediate temperatures and longer loading times. 4. Superpave performance grading (PG) considers the conditions under which asphalt is used while penetration and viscosity tests are not 5. Asphalt emulsions are classified into rapid, medium, and slow setting based on how quickly they revert to asphalt cement.
