    AASHTO Flexible Pavement Design

    Uploaded by

    Suresh Babu kata
    This document provides information and inputs for designing both flexible and rigid pavements using the AASHTO pavement design method. For flexible pavement design, it gives the determined structural number of 6.20 using the initial inputs provided. It then shows the layered analysis approach, calculating layer thicknesses and structural numbers. For rigid pavement design, it lists the inputs used and determines the required concrete slab thickness as 10.51 inches.

    Layer Thickness Determination Using Layered Analysis Approach
    1 Enter applicable information in cells C13 through F20

    2 For the first layer, use the E of the next lower layer as the MR in the Inputs Box below this ta

    3 The minimum layer thickness is calculated in column H. Enter the "practical" layer thickness

    4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each layer, always using the E of the next lower layer as the MR in
    5 Check to ensure resulting SN meets or exceeds required SN

    6 Note that this procedure is not valid if any layer beneath layer 1 has an E greater than 40,00
