Using the AASHTO rigid design procedure, design a pavement for a provincial road with an expected design ESAL of 20 x 106. The pavement structure is to consist of Portland cement concrete with an elastic modulus
of 5.0 x 106 psi and a modulus of rupture of 550 psi, and a 12 in. thick unbounded granular material as subbase. The pavement is to be plain jointed and jointed reinforced concrete with tied P.C.C. shoulder and having
load transfer devices. The climate consists of a wet season (November-April) and a dry season (May-October). Freezing of the subbase and subgrade is considered negligible. The elastic modulus of the subbase is 20,000
psi during the dry season and 15,000 psi during the wet season. The elastic modulus of the subgrade is 6,000 psi during the dry season and 3,500 psi during the wet season. The subgrade depth to the bedrock is 5ft. It
is estimated that it will take a day for water to drain from the pavement and that the pavement will be saturated about 20 percent of…

A pavement with maximum CBR value of 8% for the subgrade soil supporting this load. The tire pressure is equal to 4kg/cm².Use U.S. Corps of Engineers Formula.arrow_forwardA rigid pavement is being designed with the same parameters as used in Problem 4.5. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 300 lb/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 1b/in?. What is the design modulus of rupture? (Assume that any parameters not given in this problem are the same as those given in Problem 4.5.) 4.5 for reference: A flexible pavement was designed for the following daily traffic with a 12-year design life: 1300 single axles at 8000 Ib each, 900 tandem axles at 15,000 1b each, 20 single axles at 40,000 Ib each, and200 tandem axles at 40,000 lb each.

The initial PSI is 4.2 and the TSI (the final PSI) is determined to be 2.5. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 15,000 lb/in². Reliability is 95% with an overall standard deviation of 0.35. For design, the daily car, pickup truck and light van traffic is 40,000 and the daily truck traffic consists of 1500 passes of single-unit trucks with two single axles and 325 passes of tractor semi-trailer trucks with single, tandem, and triple axles. The axle weights are: Cars, pickups, light vans = two 2 kip single axles Single-unit truck = 8 kip single axle and 24 kip single axle Tractor semi-trailer truck = 10 kip single axle, 18 kip tandem axle, and 42 kip triple axle. ● ● M₂ and M3 are equal to 1 for the materials in the pavement structure.

- A rigid pavement is used with a modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 lb/in3, a slab thickness of 8 inches, a load transfer coefficient of 3.2, a modulus of elasticity of 5 million lb/in2, a modulus of rupture of 600 lb/in2, a reliability of 85%,a standard deviation of 0.30, PSI = 2.2(TSI=2.5),and a drainage coefficient of 1.0. How many years would the pavement be expected to last based on the following traffic data?arrow_forwardPlease help with this question Thanksarrow_forwardA flexible pavement has a 210 mm hot-mix asphalt “HMA” wearing surface, a 300 mm base (MG-20), and a 500 mm subbase (MG-112). The pavement was designed with 95% reliability, an overall standard deviation So of 0.45, and a APSI of 1.75 (a TSI of 2.5). The drainage coefficient is 0.8 for the base and subbase. The materials properties are as follows: - = Resilient modulus of HMA 2 894 MPa (or 420 000 psi); Resilient modulus of base (MG-20) = 169 MPa (or 24 500 psi); Resilient modulus of subbase (MG-112) = 74 MPa (or 10 700 psi); Effective roadbed soil resilient modulus = 36 MPa (or 5 200 psi).
