MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY • YANGON TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY • DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING • CE 3017 Highway and Traffic Engineering • PRESENTER • DAW KYAING • LECTURER • DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING • WEST YANGON TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Flexible Pavement Design • AASHTO Design Method • (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials)
Design Considerations • Pavement Performance • Traffic • Roadbed Soils (Sub grade Material) • Materials of Construction • Environment • Drainage • Reliability
Pavement Performance • Structural Performance • Related to physical condition (cracking, faulting, revealing • Functional Performance • How effectively the pavement serves the user (riding comfort) • Pavement Performance (Serviceability Performance) PSI 0 to 5 • Based on roughness & distress (cracking, patching, rut)
Two Serviceability Indices • initial serviceability index (pi) • terminal serviceability index (pt) • Initial serviceability index (pi) • Serviceability index immediately after the construction of the pavement • pi = 4.2 (4.5 for good condition) (based on existing condition)
terminal serviceable index (pt) • Based on class of highway • Pt = 2.5 or 3 (for major highway) • Pt= 2.0 (for lower class highway) • Pt = 1.5 (for economic constraints performance period may be reduced)
Traffic • Traffic load in terms of Equivalent 18000 lb Single Axial Load (ESALs)
Roadbed Soils (Sub grade Material) for CBR of 10 or less Mr (lb/in2) = 1500 CBR for R of 20 or less Mr (lb/in2) = 1000+ 555xR value Mr = Resilient modulus
Material of Construction • Quality of Material • In terms of • Layer Coefficient , a • Sub base Construction Material a3 (from Fig. 20.15) • Base Course Construction Material a2 (from Fig. 20.16) • Surface Course Construction Material a1 (from Fig. 20.17) • (hot plant mix of AC & dense-graded agg. with max. size 1”)
Environment • Temperature • Rainfall • Drainage • Drainage Factor, mi • Based on • % of time during which pavement str. nearly saturated & • Quality of Drainage
Table 20.14 • Definition of Drainage Quality • Quality of Drainage Water Removed within • Excellent 2 hours • Good 1 day • Fair 1 week • Poor 1 month • Very Poor water will not drain
Table 20.15 • Recommended mi Values • % of time pavement str. Is exposed to moisturelevels approaching saturation • Quality of drainageless than 1%1-5%5-25%greater than 25% • Fair 1.25-1.15 1.15-1.05 1.0-0.8 0.80
Reliability (R %) • Depends on highway class & Region (T20.16) • ESAL based on assume growth rate • i.e may not be accurate • Other method do not consider this uncertainty • AASHTO consider reliability factor possible uncertainties in traffic condition performance prediction • 50 % Reliability design performance success is 50 % • Variation in traffic forecast
Standard Deviation , So • Flexible pavement 0.4-0.5 • Rigid Pavement 0.3-0.4 • Table 20.16 • Suggested levels of reliability for various functional classification • Recommended Level of Reliability • Functional ClassificationUrbanRural • Interstate and other freeways 85-99.9 80-99.9
Table 20.17 • Standard Normal Deviation (ZR) Values Corresponding to Selected Levels of Reliability • Reliability (R%) standard Normal Deviation ,ZR • 99 -2.327
Structural Design • SN = a1D1+a2D2m2+a3D3m3 • D1,D2,D3 = actual thickness in inches of surface, base, & sub base course
Example 20.8 • Given • Flexible Pavement • Urban Interstate Highway • ESAL = 2 x106 • a week for water to be drain with in moisture level = 30% • Mr of AC at 68 F = 45000psi • CBR value of base = 100, Mr = 31000psi • CBR value of sub base = 22, Mr = 13500psi • CBR of Sub grade = 6
Solution • Reliability (R) = 99% (Table 20.16) • Standard Deviation (So) = 0.49 (0.4 - 05) • Pi = 4.5 • Pt = 2.5 • PSI = 4.5-2.5 = 2.0 a1 = 0.44 (Mr = 45000psi, AC) Fig. 20.17 a2 = 0.14 (CBR = 100,Base) Fig. 20.16 a3 = 0.1 (CBR = 22, sub base) Fig. 20.15 By using Figure 20.20, SN3 = 4.4 (Mr= 9000 psi) SN2 = 3.8 (Mr = 13500 psi) SN1 = 2.6 (Mr = 31000 psi)
D1 = SN1/a1 =2.6/0.44 = 5.9” (use 6”) • D1* = 6” • SN1*= a1 D1* =0.44 x 6 = 2.64 • D2*≥ (SN2-SN1*)/(a2m2)≥(3.8-2.64)/(0.14x0.8) • ≥10.36’’ (Use 12’’) • SN2*= 0.14x0.8x12+2.64=1.34+2.64 =3.98 • D3* =(SN3-SN2*)/(a3m3)=4.4-(2.64+1.34)/(0.1x0.8) • = 5.25 ’’ (Use 6’’) • SN3*=2.64+1.34+6x0.8x0.1 = 4.46 • Asphalt concrete surface = 6” • Granular base = 12” • Sub base = 6”
