3) A rural arterial is expected to carry an ESAL of 1.88x10 during the 1st year of operation with an expected traffic growth rate of 5% over 30-years of design life. If the M, of the subgrade is 103,500 kN.m2, design a suitable flexible pavement consisting of granular subbase with a material layer coefficient of 0.13, a granular base layer with a material layer coefficient of 0.14, and an asphalt surface layer with EAC of 2,760, 000 kN/m2. Assume the drainage coefficient = 1.0, percent traffic on the design lane = 47%, and design serviceability loss - 1.7.
As a roadway designer you are asked to design a horizontal curve for a two-lane road that are 12' wide each. There is an enormous boulder in the way of the construction zone and the minimum distance needed to excavate towards to the center must be solved for. The distance is required to sustain a speed of 55mph at a maximum super-elevation of 10%. Find the minimum distance from the boulder to the center of the road that fulfils the design requirement
The length of the unsymmetrical vertical curve is 664. The gradient of PVC is +4% while that of PVT is -6%. If the vertical offset was found to be 6.5 feet, find the horizontal distance of PVI from PVC.
A vertical curve was designed in 2006 for SSD requirements at a design speed of 120 km/h to connect grades G1 = +1% and G2 = -2%. The curve is to be redesigned for 120 km/h design speed in the year 2050. Vehicle braking technology has advanced such that vehicle deceleration rate has increased by 40% relative to 3.4m/s2 value used in the original design. However, due to the higher percentage of older people in the driving population, design reaction times have increased by 20%. Also, because vehicles have become smaller, the driver’s eye height is assumed to be 0.9 m above pavement. Compute the difference in design curve lengths for the 2006 and 2050 designs. Assume heye =1.08 and hobs = 0.60 m.
