    The document contains information about designing flexible pavement structures for two road projects. The first project involves designing a main access road based on a traffic survey indicating 1000 vehicles per day and subgrade soil with 9% CBR. The second project involves designing a rural arterial to carry 0.188 million ESALs over 20 years on a subgrade with 15,000 lb/in2 resilient modulus. Both projects require determining layer thicknesses for granular and asphalt concrete layers using provided parameters and the ORN 31 manual.

    Highway II

    Problem 1

    A consultant has carried out traffic and axle load survey and the site investigation

    required designing a main access road flexible pavement structure. The result of the

    traffic and axle load survey indicated that the gravel road serves an AADT of 1000 with

    60/40 percent directional split. Of which only 40% are commercial vehicle in the

    category of buses, single unit trucks, heavy single unit trucks and heavy truck trailers

    with 40%, 25% and 20% composition comprising the 15% categories. The corresponding

    mean equivalency factors are 0.011,0.875,3.756 and 10.255 respectively as stated above.

    The consultant has also forecasted an additional travel demand due to diverted and

    generated traffic approximately equivalent to 25% of the opening AADT with similar

    composition of each category. The sub-grade soil at the design depths has CBR values

    of 9%. The consultant has been found dependable quarry sites of quality granular

    materials for base and sub-base layer. The construction of the road is expected to

    commence three years after the traffic survey and will take two years to open for traffic.

    If the traffic has a growth rate of 4% per year, design the flexible structure with asphalt

    concrete or surface dressing using the ORN 31 manual catalogue.

    Problem 2

    A rural principal arterial is expected to carry an ESAL of 0.188 * 106 during the first year

    of operation with an expected annual growth of 6% over the 20-year design life. If the

    subgrade has a resilient modulus of 15,000 lb/in2, design a suitable pavement consisting

    of a granular subbase with a layer coefficient of 0.13, a granular base layer with a layer

    coefficient of 0.14, and an asphalt concrete surface with an elastic modulus

    of 400,000 lb/in2. Assume all mi values = 1 and the percent of traffic on the design lane is

    47%. Assume the design serviceability loss is 2.0. use standard deviation of 0.45.
