1 NEED OF PAVEMENT DESIGN Determination of thickness of pavement layers based on subgrade , traffic and climatic conditions is known as Pavement Design. Need to decide economic, reliable and suitable thickness of pavement based on traffic and subgrade strength .
N f = 1.6064 × C× 10 –4 × (1/ ε t ) 3.89 × (1/ E bit ) 0.854 80% reliability N f = 0.5161 × C× 10 –4 × (1/ ε t ) 3.89 × (1/ E bit ) 0.854 90% reliability Where, N f = No. of cumulative 80 kN-standard axles to cause 20% and more cracked surface area ε t = Tensile strain at bottom fibre of the bituminous layer (×10 –6 ) and E bit = Resilient modulus of the bituminous surfacing (MPa). V be = Volume of effective bitumen binder in the bituminous layer (%) V a = Volume of air voids in the bituminous layer (%) Fatigue Cracking of Asphalt Pavement
Subgrade Rutting Criteria N R = 4.1656 × 10 –8 ×(1/ ε z ) 4.5337 80 % reliability < 20msa N R = 1.41 × 10 –8 ×(1/ ε z ) 4.5337 90 % reliability ≥ 20 msa where, N R = No. of cumulative standard axles to produce rut depth of 20 mm ε z = Vertical compressive sub-grade strain (×10 –6 )
