DESIGN THE PAVEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SERVICE ROAD TO

KODUNGALLOR BYE-PASS
1. Two lane carriage way of 7m wide
2. Initial trac in the year of completion of construction = 372 CVPD (sum of both directions)
3. Trac growth rate = 7.5 %
4. Design life = 15 years
5. Vehicle damage factor based on axle load survey = 2.5 standard axle per commercial vehicle
6. Design CBR of sub grade soil = 7%.

COMPUTATION OF DESIGN TRAFFIC




Solution
1. Distribution factor = 0.75
2.
N =365 (1 + 0.075)
15
1)/ 0.075x (372x.75x2.5)
= 6666666
= 6.66 msa
3. Total pavement thickness for CBR 4% and trac 7.2 msa from IRC: 37 2001 charts = 530mm

4. Pavement composition can be obtained by interpolation from Pavement Design Catalogue
(IRC: 37 2001).
(a) Bituminous surfacing = 30 mm BC + 50 mm DBM
(b) Road-base = 250 mm WMM
(c) Granular Sub-Base = 200 mm granular material of CBR not less than 30 %
