INTRODUCTION
Flexible pavements are integral components of transportation infrastructure,
offering resilience and cost-effectiveness. Their design is crucial for ensuring the
longevity and functionality of road networks. This presentation explores the
components of flexible pavements, design methodologies, and their maintenance.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. Evaluate the performance of flexible pavement along the Kyaukse – Nhat Ka
Taung road to understand its behavior under various conditions and loads.
2. Investigate the potential causes of flexible pavement failures, such as high
variation in ambient temperature, heavy axle loads, inadequate design
procedures, and material deficiencies.
3. Analyze common defects and failures observed in the pavement.
4. Assess the effectiveness of different maintenance strategies, in extending the
pavement's service life and ensuring ongoing functionality.
5. Based on the findings, provide recommendations for improving the pavement
structure, enhancing stability, addressing deficiencies, and implementing
effective maintenance practices.
SCOPES OF THE STUDY
1. Investigate the main causes of flexible pavement failures, including variations
in ambient temperature, heavy axle loads, limitations in pavement design
procedures, inadequate stability, and deficiencies in wearing courses.
2. Explore preventive, corrective, and routine maintenance measures to extend the
pavement's lifespan and ensure ongoing functionality. Considerations include
cost-effectiveness, surface treatments, repairs, and pavement management
system optimization.
3. Determine the thickness of the flexible pavement using the California Bearing
Ratio (CBR) method, considering factors like wheel load, contact pressure, and
CBR values of subgrade layers.
4. Analyze Average Daily Traffic (ADT) to understand traffic patterns and
volume, crucial for pavement design and maintenance decisions.
LOCATION OF THE
STUDY
The study area is Kyaukse – Nhat Ka Taung road in Kyaukse town, Kyaukse
Division, Mandalay Region. This road is communicated Kyaukse town to Nhat Ka
Taung village. Since 2008, Kyaukse – Nhat Ka Taung road was originally
constructed and the constructed pavement width was 5.49m.The total length of this
road is 2.683km & Nhat Ka Taung village circuit is 0.535km. In this research, the
position of (1.609km – 2.683km) from Kyaukse and Nhat Ka Taung village circuit
is designed. Map of study area is shown below.

MAIN CAUSES OF FLEXIBLE
PAVEMENT FAILURES
The main causes of flexible pavement failures are as follows;
1. High variation in ambient temperature,
2. Uncontrolled heavy axel loads,
3. Limitation of pavement design procedures to meet local environmental conditions,
4. Inadequate stability,
5. Inadequate wearing course and
6. Loss of binding action.
TYPE OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
FAILURES
Common failures include alligator (or) map cracking, consolidation of pavement
layers, formation of waves, frost heaving, reflection cracking and etc.

TYPES OF FLEXIBLE
PAVEMENT DEFECTS
Defects include potholes, raveling, rutting, shoving, and various types of cracking.

PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE
1. Pavement maintenance aims to extend pavement life through preventive or
corrective measures.
2. Preventive maintenance is cost-effective and includes activities like surface
treatments.
3. Corrective maintenance addresses existing deficiencies, while routine maintenance
ensures ongoing system functionality.
4. A balanced maintenance approach includes preventive measures and the capacity
for repairs.
5. Pavement management systems help optimize maintenance strategies and ensure
cost-effectiveness.

DESIGN OF THICKNESS OF PAVEMENT BY
CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO (CBR) METHOD
Flexible pavement design by CBR method is used to determine the total thickness of pavement.
Generally, there are two methods to design the pavement from CBR (California Bearing Ratio)
value. They are
1. CBR method recommended by California state of highways
2. CBR method recommended by IRC (India road congress)
Note: this study is focusing on CBR method recommended by IRC.
CONTINUED
CBR test is performed in construction materials laboratories to evaluate the strength of soil subgrades and
base course materials. Those who design highways, airport runways and taxiways, parking lots, and other
pavements rely on CBR test values when selecting pavement and base thickness.
CBR is the ratio expressed in the percentage of force per unit area required to penetrate a soil mass with a
standard circular plunger of 50mm diameter at the rate of 1.25mm/min to that required for corresponding
penetration of 2.5 and 5mm. When the ratio at 5mm is consistently higher than that at 2.5mm, the ratio at 5mm is
used.
IRC has recommended a CBR design chart for use in India. IRC has also recommended some points on using
the CBR method of design which are listed as follows.
i. The CBR test should be performed on remoulade soils in the lab only
ii. The subgrade soil should be compacted according to Proctor’s method at optimum moisture content
iii. For the construction of flexible pavement in heavy rainfall zone, the soil specimen must be soaked in water
before testing
iv. The top 50 cm of the subgrade should be compacted to at least 95% of proctor density
