    FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN

    DCC30103 – HIGHWAY & TRAFFIC ENGINEERING


    COURSE OUTLINE
    CLO 1 : Apply appropriate model to solve problem in
    highway and traffic engineering
    CLO 2 : Assesses design performance for highway and
    traffic engineering based on appropriate specification with
    consideration of public safety, society and environment

    5.1 Explain traffic loads and axle weight


    5.2 Assess the design of flexible pavement
    COURSE – 5.1.1 Assess the design factor that influence
    the thickness of the pavement
    SYLLABUS • Traffic Load
    • Design Life
    • Sub grade Condition
    - 5.2 Apply the Public Work Department
    flexible
    design pavement method in designing flexible
    pavement.

    Do you still
    remember?
    DESIGN FACTOR OF
    THICKNESS
    TRAFFIC LOADING
    • Every time an axle load acts on a pavement , damage is
    inflicted onto the pavement.
    • Traffic composition – “mixture” of varying weight & no. of
    axles

    Traffic loading including:-


    – Axles and wheel / tire load
    – Arrangement of axles and
    Tire
    – Tire pressure and contact
    area (P = W/A)
    - Vehicle Speed
    Axles and wheel / tire load
    • Wheel load on pavement is an important factor to
    determine the pavement thickness to be adopted.
    • The wheel load is acts at particular point on pavement and
    cause deformations.
    • although the size and weight of vehicles using pavement
    vary, the most important consideration in pavement design
    and performance is the weight of each axle and tire
    • If the vehicle contains dual wheels on one side of axle, then
    convert it into equivalent single wheel load. Dual wheeled
    axle vehicles control the contact pressure within the limits.
    TRAFFIC LOADING
    • According to this concept, there is a common method
    use in application of standard axle load where ;
    – a standard axle unit causing the unit destroyed and
    similar effects is calculated (equivalent single axle loads =
    ESALs)
    – the standard axle load weight Ls used is 80 kN or 8200kg
    or 18000 lb
    • Standard axle, Ls = 80kN (8160 kg @ 18 000 Ib)
    • The decaying power is 4 and the equivalence factor
    symbolized as e; where e = (L / Ls)4 (L : Tire @ axle load)
    SAMPLE CALCULATION OF
    EQUIVALENCE FACTOR, E
     Question:
    o The overall weight of a lorry was 260 kN and channeled through the
    arrangement of three axles and axle weight of each is as shown in the
    diagram below

     Solution: 100 kN 90 kN 70 kN

    i. Tandem Axle (2 or more axles)


    equivalent load factor, e(3 axles) = (L1/80)4 + (L2/80)4 + (L3/80)4
    = (100/80)4 + (90/80)4 + (70/80)4 = 4.63
    ii. Single Axle
    equivalent load factor ,E(1 axle) = (260/80)4 = 111.57
    Conclusion: Equivalence factor value and its decaying power reduces for 24
    times (111.57÷4.63=24) if the axles arrangement is multiply.

    • Design a road pavement for a 2-lane highway with 3000
    vehicles in both directions (with one lane in one
    direction). The following additional project related
    information is available; PCV = 20 % (no detailed break-
    down by vehicle type) , Type of Terrain= rolling) Design
    Life = 20 years , Annual Traffic Growth = 7.0%. Results
