A pavement designer has arrived at a design traffic of 100 million standard axles for a newly developing national highway as per IRC:37 guidelines using the following data: design life = 15 years, commercial vehicle count before pavement construction = 4500 vehicles/day, annual traffic growth rate = 8%. The vehicle damage factor used in the calculation was A B 1.53 2.24 с 3.66 D 4.14
Q:Discuss various tests used for the quality of bitumen used in flexible pavements.
A flexible pavement is to be constructed with a inches of sand-mix asphaltic wearing surface, b inches of emulsion/aggregate-bituminous base, c inches of crushed stone subbase. The base has a drainage coefficient of 0.90, while the subbase drainage coefficient is 1.0. What values of a, b, and c will NOT satisfy SN deign value of 4.1.

The traffic on the design lane of a proposed four-lane rural interstate highway consists of 40% trucks. If classification studies have shown that the truck factor can be taken as 0.45, design a suitable flexible pavement using the 1993 AASHTO procedure if the AADT on the design lane during the first year of operation is 1000, pi=4.2 and pt=2.5. Growth rate= 4% Design life= 20 years Reliabilitylevel= 90% Standard deviation= 0.45 The pavement will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation 20% of the time, and will take about one week for drainage of water. Effective CBR of the subgrade material is 7. CBR of the base and subbase are 70 and 22, respectively, and Mr for the asphalt mixture, 450kips/in2.

6- Mention and describe four geotechnical parameters in AASHTO's empirical design method separately for each of asphalt and concrete pavements.
A flexible pavement has the following class of loads during a particular hour of the day, i. 80 buses with 2-axles (each axle load of 40 KN): ii. 160 trucks with 2-axles (front and rear axle loads of 40 kN and 80 kN, respectively) The equivalent standard axle load repetitions for this vehicle combination as per IRC:37-2012 would be A. 320 B. 250 C. 240 D. 180
Please Short Answer!
A rural principal arterial is expected to carry an ESAL of 0.188×106 during the first year of operation with an expected annual growth of 6% over the 20-year design life. If the subgrade has resilient modulus of 15,000 psi, design a suitable pavement consisting of a granular subbase with a layer coefficient of 0.13, a granular base layer with a layer coefficient of 0.14, and an asphalt concrete surface with an elastic modulus of 400,000 psi. Assume all m; values = 1 and the percent of traffic on the design lane is 47%. Use reliability level of 99%, standard deviation of 0.4, and APSI of 2.0. If the minimum required thickness of asphalt surface and aggregate base course is used, what is the design thickness of subbase?
