section of a two-lane rural highway is to be realigned and replaced by a four-lane highway with a full-depth asphalt pavement. 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. It is expected that construction will be completed five years from now, and pi =4.5 and pt = 2.5. Growth rate = 4%. Design life = 20 years. The pavement structure will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation 20% of the time, and it 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 (Mr=30000 lb/in2 ) and 22 (Mr=13500 lb/in2 ), respectively, and Mr for the asphalt mixture, 400,000 lb/in2 .
A section of a two-lane rural highway is to be realigned and replaced by a four-lane highway with a full-depth asphalt pavement. The AADT (both ways) on the existing section can be represented by 750 ESAL. It is expected that construction will be completed 5 years from now. If the traffic growth rate is 2 percent and the effective CBR of the subgrade on the new alignment is 9.0, determine a suitable depth of the asphalt pavement (in inches) using the AASHTO method. Take the design life of the pavement as 20 years. The resilient modulus of the asphalt (EAC) is 450,000 lb/in. ².

▪ A roadway is determined to have 400 18-kip single axles, 200 24-kip single axles, and 100 40- kip tandem axles per day. The subgrade CBR is 10 and the roadway pavement is designed for an overall standard deviation of 0.45, a reliability 99.9% and the initial PSI is 4.5 and the TSI is 2.5. One newly constructed section of this roadway is a rigid pavement designed with a 10- inch slab with a modulus of rupture of 900lb/in², and a modulus of elasticity of 4.5x10 lb/ in², and a joint transfer coefficient of 3.2. Another newly constructed section of the same roadway is a flexible pavement with a 4-in sand-mix asphaltic concrete surface, 9-in dense- graded crushed stone base and a 9-in crushed-stone subbase. If the roadway has three lanes in each direction and is conservatively designed, which of the pavement sections will last longer and by how many years if all drainage coefficients are 1.0?
