PSI
log10 4.2 - 1.5
Log10 Ns = Zr*So+9.36 *log10 (SN + 1) - 0.2 + 2.32* log10 (MR) - 8.07
+ 0.4 + 1094
(SN +1) 5.19 ……………… (1)
Where,
Ns = Predicted number of 18 Kips (8.16 MT) equivalent single axle load aplications.
PSI = Dfference between the initial design serviceability index and the terminal
Where,
a1, a2 & a3 are the layer coefficients of surface course, base course and sub-base course respectively
The input parameters selected and used in the design are as follows:
For CBR value of 6%, MR (psi) is worked out from the following equation :-
MR (psi)=1500 X CBR
For Ns = 20 msa and using AASHTO design equation, the value of SN required has been calculated as 5.154. The
design thicknesses are worked out from equation. .2
SN= 0.44 x(BC+DBM thickness in inch) + 0.14 x 1 x(WMM thickness in inch) +0.11 x 0.9 x (GSB
thickness in inch)
SN= 0.44x (0.04+0.115)/0.0254 + 0.14x1x (0.125+0.125)/0.0254 + 0.11 x0.9x (0.15+0.15)/0.0254
= 5.232 > 5.15 Safe
For calculating the structural number of existing pavement based on deflection volume, the following equations
recommended in HDM-III model document.
SN exist = SN BBD - SN SG
SN BBD = 3.2 x (BBD)-0.63 …..(For Granular Base)
SN SG = 3.51x Log10(CBR) - 0.85 x (Log10(CBR)2 ) - 1.43
Where,
SN exist = Structural number of the existing pavement
SN BBD = Modified structural number contributed
SN SG = Structural number of the subgrade
CBR= Subgrade CBR
BBD= Benkelman Beam Deflection under 8.16 T Axle Load Taking mean of mean of BBD values
to be 1.83 mm

Design calculation using the above equation
SN BBD = 3.2 x (1.83)-0.63
= 2.19
SN SG = 3.51x Log10(CBR) - 0.85 x (Log10(CBR)2 ) - 1.43
= 2.731 -1.323 -1.430
= -0.022 (Thus, the pavement has little residual strength left)
SN exist = 2.19- 0.0
= 2.19
For CBR value of 6%, MR (psi) is worked out from the following equation :-
MR (psi)=1500 X CBR
or MR (psi)= 1500 X 6 = 9000 psi
SN required = 5.154
Zr*So = -0.577
RHS= 9.36 *log10 (SN + 1) - 0.2 = 7.187
log10(PSI/(4.2-1.5))/(0.4+(1094/(SN+1) )) =
5.19
-0.412
2.32* log10 (MR) - 8.07 = 1.104
Total= 7.302
SN needed = SN required - SN exit
= 2.97

In PCA method, for design of highway concrete pavements, use is made of fatigue characteristics of concrete
in flexure. When plain concrete is subjected to repeated loading, the number of repetitions of load it will sustain
dep the magnitude of load. Research findings on fatigue behaviour of concrete under repeated loading have
demons the concrete will generally sustain an infinite number of stress repetitions, as long as the flexural
strength of con higher stress values, the concrete will sustain a lesser number of load repetitions. The data are
presented in t stress ratios and these values are used to modify the thickness determined using static loads.
Generally, the 28-days flexural strength of concrete is used for the thickness design of street and road concrete p
In this method, however, designs are based upon a flexural strength of concrete at 90-days, that is taken ab
percent of the 28-days strength.
This method recommends that the actual wheel load that will be applied to the pavement be increased by a facto
cent. This increase accounts for possible increase of load due to impact and adds a factor of safety to the design a
The traffic is categorized, for design purposes, into axle - load groups and stress for assumed thickness of pav
determined. The allowable repetitions for each load are determined and this value is compared to the
estimated load applications. By applying the Minor's principle on cumulative damage, the consumption of concrete
fatigue life shall not exceed 100 per cent.
The type of the subbase under the rigid pavement has been considered. When extra drainage layer is insta

subbase would also serve many other functions : (1) control of pumping (2) provides uniform suport (3) control of
swell of the subgrade (4) Control of frost action (5) smooth working platform to expedite construction
In the case of jointed plain concrete pavement, design consideration for different types of joints in PCC pavemen
be addressed for long-term performance of concrete pavements.
