Flexible Pavement Design

ESAL repetition = ∑ (AADT x Gf x Vf x 365 x Df x Lf)

Where:
ESAL = ESAL at design year ‘n’

AADT = Classified commercial AADT which changes from year to year.

Gf = Traffic growth factor, where Gf = ((1+r)n-1)/r.

Vf = Vehicle equivalence factors.

Df = Direction distribution factor.

Lf = Lane distribution factor.

n = Design or analysis period


r = Annual traffic growth rate

365 x [(1+r)n-1]
ESAL = x AADT x Vf x Df x Lf
r

365 x [ (1+0.075)12-1]
ESAL = x (6,000 x 0.50) x 3.00 x 0.50 x 1
0.075

AADT = (6,000 x 50%) Classified commercial vehicle


Vf = 3.00
Df = 0.50
Lf = 1
ESAL = 30.2x10 6
According to RHD design manual ESAL< 30X106
Estimated Design ESAL, W₁₈= 30 x10 6
Growth Factor= 7.5%
Design period= 10 years and construction period =2 years
Initial service life of pavement = 10 years
Reliability for each stage, R= 0.95
Initial serviceability, Pₒ = 4.2
Terminal serviceability, Pᵼ = 2.5
Overall Standard Deviation, S₀ = 0.35, ZR = -1.645
Here,
∆PSI=P₀ - Pᵼ =1.7

Using AASHTO Flexible Pavement Structural Design,


D₁=SN₁/a₁m₁
SN₁= a₁m₁D₁*
D₂=(SN₂-SN₁*)/a₂m₂
SN₂*= a₂m₂ D₂*
D₃=(SN₃-SN₂*-SN₁*)/a₃m₃
Check,
SN₃= a₁m₁D₁*+ a₂m₂ D₂*+ a₃m₃ D₃*

Where
MR (psi) = 1500* CBR or MR (mpa) = 10* CBR if CBR < 5% and

MR (psi) = 2555* CBR 0.64 or MR (mpa)= 17.6* CBR 0.64 if CBR > 5%
There is a nomograph which is formed in consideration of R, S₀, W₁₈, ∆PSI, MR.
HBB Subgrade is given 3`3``. Considering the Settlement of existing soil, improved Subgrade should
be 20”(500mm) and Subgrade soil given 4’ 0”.
