Explanation of Solution

  • The method which is used for computing linear construction projects such as highways, railroads, in this type after the centerline is staked, ground sections called cross sections are taken. This type of principle used in the method is called cross sectional method.
  • Except long linear route constructions, the quantity of earth, gravel, rock or other material excavated or filled can often be used as one of the principle methods in volume surveying which is called as borrow pit method or unit method.
  • Volumes based on contours can be obtained from contour maps by using a planimeter to determine the area enclosed by each contour. This type principle method in volume surveying is called contour area method.

The following figure is a flexible pavement system with the resilient moduli layer coefficients and drainage coefficients as shown. If the predicted ESAL = 6x106, Reliability, R = 99%, Standard Deviation (So) = 0.45, and APSI = 2.5, select thicknesses D1, D2, and D3 in accordance with the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures. E₁ = 400, 000 psi; a₁ = 0.42, Thickness = D₁ E₂=30,000 psi; a₂= 0.14, m₂ = 1.2; Thickness = Dz E=11,000 psi; a=0.08, m3 = 1.2; Thickness = D3 MR= 5,700 psi
Diagramtically show the placement, size, and spacing of temperature steels, dowel bars and tie bars in rigid pavements. Also mention their puproses in rigid pavements.
A six-lane concrete roadway is being designed for a metropolitan area. This roadway will be constructed on a subgrade with an effective modulus of subgrade reaction k of 200 lb/in^3. The ESALs used for the design period is 6.0×10^6. Using the AASHTO design method, determine a suitable thickness of the concrete pavement (to the nearest 1/2 inch), provided that the working stress of the concrete to be used is 600 lb/in^2 and the modulus of elasticity is 6×10^6 lb/in^2. Assume the initial serviceability is 5.0 and the terminal serviceability is 2.0. Assume the overall standard deviation, So, is 0.35, the load transfer coefficient J as 3.2, the drainage coefficient, Cd, is 1.15, and R = 99%.
