PAVEMENT DESIGN REPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report outlines the design process for the pavements for Project R803, The Global Village and the conclusions and recommendations developed from the process. The Global Village will be developed in two phases. Construction of Phase 2 is planned immediately after Phase 7 is completed, The pavement design wil account for tratfic from both phases operating. The project location plan is shown in figure A variety of pavements with varying traffic use are required for the site. The following pavernents have been identified: * Temporary entry ond exit ramps ftom the Emirates Road (311). Ramps identified as femporcry have been designed for a § year life on the basis that an interchange will be constructed in future: Permanent entry and exit roads Large bus parking area and access roads Circulating roads serving car parking areas Circulating Roads serving car parking areas, garbage trucks and pavilion and restaurant service vehicles * Circulating road for shuttle buses and garbage trucks + Intemal pavements for vehicles serving the pavilion, restaurant and fun park areas + Fun park area pavement Three stages of use of the pavements have been identified: * Stage 1 affer construction when traffic delivers materials for erection of pavilion, bathrooms restaurants and fun park structures * Stage 2. after erection of structures, when traffic will deliver the materials and stock for furnishing of the pavilions, and restaurants * Stage 3, the operational stage, when traffic will service the various areas on site and the fun park equipment will apply live loading to the pavement. ' 2.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION The geoiechnical investigation for R803 has been completed. Refer to Appendix | for a copy of the reporl. Nine test pits were excavated fo Getermine insitu material properties. 2.1 Ground Water Ground water was not found in the test pits excavated to 2 metres depth. 2.2 Materials and Classification The nine test pits revealed materials that range from slightly silty to silty sands with geotechnical classification for the materials of A-2 and A-3, ‘The materials encountered were non-plastic. 23 Natural Moisture Content Natural moisture content, at 0.6 metres depth, ranged from 1.1 to 4.2%, 2.4 Dry Density - Moisture Content Relationship For samples token at 0.5 metres depth, the maximum dry density was determined as 1.70 to 1.75 tonne/m® at optimum water contents for compaction ranging from 15 to 19%. These results indicate that when wet compaction is specified significant addition of water to the insitu materials will be required to comply with compattion to Contract Specification requirements. 2.5 California Bearing Ratio CBR% for samples from 0.6 metres depth and compacted to 95% of maximum dry density and sooked for 4 days is in the range 10 to 37% with an average of 17%. The Dubai Municipality General Specifications refer to two subgrade materials * Suitable material for earthworks that has a minimurn CBR value of 18% * Subgrade improvement material that has a minimum CBR value of 30% Swe The project Particular Specifications have permitted fill material of minimum CBR 8% to 0.5 m below subgrade level and minimum CBR 16% for the top 0.5 m of subgrade. These values will ensure the tight programme for earthwork construction is relatively easily achieved. Variations in subgrade strength can be expected due to the difference between the design subgrade levels, the level of the material sourced for the CBR tests and the difference between laboratory and field conditions. Laboratory CBR tests are determined in a confined mould with a high sttength base. During construction the materials are not confined to the sane extent nor do they have the high strength base of the mould. Lower CBR values may be expected in construction, it is assumed that the material thot will be used for embankment and subgrade construction will have a compacted CER value that Iles between 8% aind 20% with better material reserved for the top 0.5 metre of pavement subgrade and formation areas. The AASHTO pavement design methodology requires that a single layer subgrade strength is selected. The subgrade depth that has an influence ‘on pavement behaviour will be greater than one or two 180 mm thick layers of subgrade Improvement material. The suitable fill material will also influence subgrade strength and pavement behaviour. The actual subgrade strength will be a combination of the strengths of the materials used for suitable fill and/or subgrade improvement. On the basis of the range of CBR values Cetermined in the laboratory (10% to 37%), the General Specifications (CBR 18%) and allowing for some variation in material sirength found on site, an assumed design CBR of 18% has been selected. The drawings will detail the pavement subgrade requirements where existing materials encountered in cut or used for filing have CBR values of less than 15% within 0.8 m of subgrade or formation level or less than 8% below this level. Refer to Figure PR:3:_ * Sullable material for earthworks that has a minimum CBR value of 8% Is shown at levels greater than 0.5 metre from subgrade or formation level. * Suitatle material for earthworks that has a minimurn CBR value of 15% is shown for the top 0.5 metre of subgrade or formation layer. * If the materials on site used for fill or encountered in cut provide a compacted strength of between CBR 10 and 15% for the top 0.8 metre of subgrade or formation then it will be necessary fo use a 180 mm thick subgrade improvement layer of CBR 30% minimum (e.g. subbase aggregate). The material strength and determination of whether subgrade improvement material is requied will need to be checked and advised by the Engineer on site during construction. In the situation that materials of less than CBR 10% are encountered in the top 0.8 metre of subgrade or formation a thicker layer of subgrade improvement material (800 mm or greater) will be used to provide an equivalent subgrade strength of minimum CBR 15%, The decision on the thickness of the subgrade Improvernent layer will need to be mace on site by the Engineer. 3.0 TRAFFIC 3.1 Traffic Volumes Forecasted design traffic volumes for Phase 1 of the Global Village are presented in the report Project R803, Dubal Global Village Grounds and Access, Preliminary Traffic Assessment. Traffic data from the existing Global Village in Garhoud was obtained. Traffic and parking estimation for the new Global Village was carried out using hwo methods: + Method 1 - Comparison of the Pavilion Areas * Method 2 - Trio Generation and Parking Rates Manual Both methods yielded similar results for the in bound peak hour volume, 6200 vehicles per hour. This figure was selected for the peak in and out bound voiume. The two methods yielded different results for the parking requirements. The highest figure was faken. A summary of the traffic assessment results Is: * Peak hour in and out bound voiume fer Phase 1 6,200 vehicles + Total peak hour volume in and out 12,400 vehicles * Percent of peak hour volume from daily volume 15% * Dally in and out bound volume for Phase 1 41,333 vehicles * Total daily volume in and out 82,666 vehicles e Parking requirement for Phase 1 18,000 spaces It is assumed that the site Is fully developed when Phase 1 and 2 are constructed and no further traffic growth occurs throughout the design lite apart from heavy vehicles arriving for the purpose of reconstructing pavilions. The pavement design must allow for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 traffic. Phase 1 traffic is 65% of the tofal traffic. A summary for Phase 1 and Phase 2 is: * Peak hour in and out bound volume 9840 vehicles * Total peak hour volume in and out 19,080 vehicles + Percent of peak hour volume from daily volume 15% + Daily in and out bound volume 63,600 vehicles + Total daily volume in and out 127,200 vehicles © Parking requirement 27,700 spaces 3.2 Heavy Vehicle Assessment Heavy vehicles are usually the dominant loading for pavement design. The assessnent of heavy vehicle numbers for the various roadways will vary depending on the area the roadway serves and the period of time considered in the pavements life. A conventional heavy vehicle assessment used for highway design, estimating the percentage of heavy vehicles and classification in the total traffic stream, is not appropriate for this site. Area specific heavy vehicle assessment is required. For some pavernents such as car parking access roads the dominant vehicles influencing pavement design will be coms. A synopsis of the area specific predicted vehicle usage Is as follows: * It ls assumed that construction traffic for the pavement platforms will not be loading the pavements themselves and that separate contractor access points will be used, different #o the design main access roads from Emirates Road + Initially the finished pavements will be exposed to trucks delivering materials for pavilion construction and fun park equipment establishment. * After establishment of the above ground pavilion structures the heavy vehicle usage will be trucks delivering equipment for the pavilion displays. + Affer establishment and provisioning of pavilion structures the heavy vehicle use for the remaining pavement design life will be service vehicles and the occasional truck during periods where structures are alteted, moved or refurbished * Some pavement areas, such as car parks and their access roads, may only be exposed to light vehicles and very rarely used by a heavy vehicle. * Other pavements in the fun park orea may be exposed to repeat loading from equipment wheels or supports resting on the pavement surface. * The shuttle bus ting road will have a consistent loading of one vehicle type. «Large buses will park in c dedicated bus park crea. « The main access routes will cater for a variety of vehicles with destinations within The Global Village. * Sewage removal trucks will access the dedicated area for the holding tonk * Cars, taxis and mini ouses are predicted in sufficient numbers to warrant inclusion in the pavement ESAL determination. DCOL has had to make estimates to establish design figures for the heavy vehicle loads, the various vehicle type numbers expected, at various stages in the pavernents life. The estimates are as follows: * In pavilion and washroom areas, during construction average 10 trucks required per building, number of buildings is 130 in Phase 7 and 80 in Phase 2. * Assume 30 pavilions get modified/relocated during the 20-year design life and § trucks per pavilion are required, * During furnishing of pavilion areas assume & light tucks per building * During operation assume service vehicle at 1 per day per pavilion. * Restaurant areas assume 4 trucks per restaurant, 65 restaurants during construction. © Assume for furnishing 4 light trucks per restaurant. * Service vehicles for 65 food outlets, average 4 vehicies per outlet per day, but one vehicle assumed to serve outlets. + At the fun park assume 1 truck per m? plan arec for establishment of equioment. = Assume the equipment applies the equivalent of 1 standard axle per minute for 8 hours, 8 months and 20 years (at any location), + Shutile buses operating, 20 minutes per lap, 4 buses is equivalent to 12 per hour passing a point for 8 hours per day. + Buses arriving peak hour 28 buses, equivatent to 18% of daily tratfic, gives 185 per day. * Cars, taxis and mini buses, 63,600 design vehicles. Assume mini bus is 1% of fotal. The above assumptions are based on no vehicle wander occurring. Vehicle wander is the geographic tracking of vehicles from a single wheel path. Assuming no wander is a conservative approach due to the geographic spread of buildings, equigment and parking. However, It is likely that there will be areas in the pavement near entrance points where vehicles are confined io a narrow wheel track, therefore for the purposes of pavement design it is appropriate to take the conservative approach of assuming no wander. 4.0 ESTIMATE OF ESALS The following parameters were used in the estimation of design ESALs: + The Global Village operates for 8 months of the year + No growth in the traffic (foods operating at capacity from opening) Axle types assumed in the generation of ESALs are: + Tandem rear axle with dual tyres (e.g. on 3 axle truck) + Single rear axle with dual tyres (.g. on c heavy 2 axie tuck, bus or shuttle bus) + Single rear axle with single tyres (e.g. on a light 2 axle truck, mini bus, van or ca) + Single front axle with single tyres (a steering axle for all vehicles) Multi axle vehicles have not been assumed for the pavilion, bathroom and restaurant construction periods because fandem rear axle trucks generally give higher ESAL numbers overall. The axle loads assumed are as follows: «Pavilion, restaurant and fun park establishment trucks 12 tonne tandem rear, dual tyre axles, and 4 tonne steering axle + Sewage and garbage collection trucks, 13 tonne tandem rear, dual tyre axles, and 4 tonne steering axie * Pavilion and restaurant initial furnishing trucks 7 tonne single rear, dual tyre axle, and 4 tonne steering axle * Pavilion and restaurant operational servicing trucks 2 tonne single rear, single tyre axle, and 2 tonne steering axle Fun park equipment operational loads equivalent to 1 ESAL Shuttle buses 3 tonne single rear, dual tyre axle and 2 tonne steering oxle * Large buses 5 tonne single rear, dual tyre axle and 3 tonne steering axle * Mini buses 1.5 tonne single rear, single tyre axle, and 1.5 tonne steering axle * Cars 0.75 tonne single rear, single tyre axle, and 0.75 tonne steering oxle Equivalent Single Axie Load Factors are determined by using fwo methods: « Method 1 - A power factor of four applied to the ratio of assumed axle load divided by the standard load to give one ESAL for each axle type. This is an appropriate factor for empirical design methods «Method 2 - For the tandem rear and single rear axles with dual tyres the axle load factor is taken from Table D.4 and D.$ of Appendix D in the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures. An estimate of pavement sttuctural number is made to determine the axle load factor. For single rear and front axles with single tyres the fourth power method is used because these axle types are not represented in Appendix D of the AASHTO Guide. The full list of design ESALs generated for all pavernent sections using the iwo methods described above §s included in Appendix 2, The highest figure for each area generated by the methods has been used for design. 5.0 PAVEMENT DESIGN Two generic types of pavement will be used in The Global Village: + Asphaltic concrete surfaced pavement + Concrete paving block surfaced pavement The asphaitic concrete surfaced pavement section layers were designed using the AASHTO pavement design procedure. Design parameters (@ctual and assumed) associated with the AASHTO design procedure are shown in Table 6.1, AASHTO pavement designs and supporting data used in the selection of design parameters are included in Appendix 2.

Followin: this standard, the design procedure is devised to suit Duba Emirate conditions. It is else formated in such a manne? that provides a unified method of calculating the pavement thicknesses. 2.4.1. STANDARD PROCEDUR. 1. The initial step here is to define CBR values for the pavement layers below the Asphalt layers. The CBR values are either static or dynamic. The idesl requirement is t& acquire both values since they are both needed in the following step. However , if one of them is only available it can be assumed that both values lie on a horizonta straight line in the correlation graph in Figurel. It is so important to note that if the CBR velue determined 5) s esting is found to be less n the mininun values incluéec in the pavement specifications , the test valves shall be upgraded to the minimun specified values. This is considerec justifiable since , in practice , the layer’s material will be upgraded to meet the speci ions. Also, if the CBI test values for the subbase an e Road base layers are not available , the minimum values of the specifications can be used. 2. Once the dynamic and static CBR values are determined as described above , the attached Figure i monograph can be used to determine the Soil Support value (8). this graph is a soil support value correlation used by the Utah State Highway Department , and can be considered applicable tc Dubai Emirate Conditions until such @ tine when such grapt is produced to suit the Dubai Emirate actual conditions. Fron the above mentioned gr t is required to determine the soil support values for Dllowing three layers: $1 : Soil support value for the Road Base. $2: Soil support value for Sub-Base. $3: Soil support value for the subgrade DUBAI MUNICIPALITY 3. compute the total equiveient standard Axle Load (ESAL) Subjected to the pavement during the design life. Detailed calculation procedure of this value is covered in a Gedicated chapter in this text ( Chapter .... ) . It is alse important to note the AASHTO” design equation suggestio ditions due to the fact that there are no limits on * Woading and the aggressive climatic conditions. # fo, experience has indicated that most of the Dubai roads have required major repair works ziter 10 years have passed since heir construction. ore,it is considered more ealistic to design for a design life of 10 years only. Dubai climate it is applicable to assign a value to [1.0) to the regional factor (R). This is a Justitiable assumption since Dubdi climate fs considered very much similar to the cli the State of Arizona. 5. The terminal serviceabil follows: value (®t) can be defined as Por minor roads ( Locel and collector roads) : For major roads ( Expressways, Preeways and €. As known , the ideal initial serviceability value ( (Jo) is $.0. However , from performing the serviceability evaluation on all sectio a given road prior to trafficking , it was found the initial serviceability averaged 4.2 ( rather than 5.5, the ideal) . fherefore , the value thet should be used for (PQ)is 4.2. 7. As for the serviceability value (P) after the pavement has been subjected to an equi valent Standard Axle load equal to (#), practice indicated that the minimum acceptable serviceability (P) at the expiration o ( de the design life is 8. Having determined the veriables defined in the above steps , the following AASHTO design equation can be used to Getermine the structural number (SN) for each of the pavement layer Log W io where , » SS eo vba SERPS EOE ENS w eae DUBAI MUNICIPALITY / [0.44 1084/(SN + 1)5-49 c= Log 0 where , ( See figure 2 ) SN1 : is for the surfacing layer SN2 : is for the road Base Layer SN3: is for the Sub-base layer where each of the structure] numbers are associated with the following soil support values Sl: Soil support for Road Base $2: Soil support for sub Base $3: soil support for subgrade Values of W, R, Po, P , Pt were defined earlier. Having the above in hand , the design equation can be mathematically manipulated to determine the structural numbers associated with the three design layers. ¢. Assign layer Coefficient factors (a} to the three pavement layers. These factors are based on the strength of the layer itself which is determined by the common soil strength laboratory tests. for Dubai Emirate & conditions, the following coefficient factors are found to be common: * Por the surfacing ( Asphalt ) layer: - Asphaltic concrete al - DBM al = 0.42 * For Road Base Layer - Wet Mix Road Base a2 = 0.14 ‘ : 4 : : : DUBAE MUNICIPALITY - Aggregate Road Basé a2 = 0.12 * For the Sub-Base Layer: - Subkha aa - Subkha mixed with aa dune sand. > 20. Once the layer coefficients are defined , the following equation apply: SN (total) = al ti + a2t2 + a3t3 where : ti : thickness of Asphalt layer. t2 : thickness of Road Base layer t3.: thickness of sub-Base layer and al , a2 and a3 were defined earlier. order to solve for layer‘s thicknesses, the following athematical manipulation can be followed: 2) Apply SN2 = a1 ti > and solve for t1 and then round off the tl value to the nearest whole number, after converting from inches to mn. b) Recalculate SN1* using the rounded off ti value using the same equation in (a) above. ¢) Apply equation snz = aita + a2t2 and solve for t2 and then round off the t2 to the nearest whole number, after converting from inches to mm. @) Recalculate SN2* using the rounded off t2 value using the equation in a2t2. 2) Apply equation SN3:= alti + a2t2 + a3t3 then solve for t3 and round it off to the nearest whole number after converting the value from inches to mm. £) Recalculate sN3* usi g the rounded off +3 value using the equa ion a3 t2. : ee NN eT N AM MEN ENRON -sn3 where SN3° is the structural number calculated for the sub- pase layer in step (8) and used in step (e) above. Then, the resulting thicknesses ti , t2 and t3 are gensidered satisfactory. Otherwise the layer’s thicknesees should be increased till the above relationship is satisfied. NOTE «when recalculating SN values in (b) , (&) and ce) ghove the thickness values shall be converted back to inchea to produce correct results. 2.1.2.DESIGN EXAMPLE NO.L ENPUT DATA: - Testing shows thet the su less Specification requires that the sub-base has a CBR of not than 25% , and the Base not less then @08. ~ Design traffic (W) is 25 million ESAL ~ Surfacing is made out of Asphaltic concrete 7 Road Base is wet Mix Mecadan - Sub Base is subkha DESIGN 1) Find the soil support values (s) for 2 CBR (Dynamic) of each layer from figur CBR (DYNAMIC) S& SUBGRADE 7 4.7 SUBBASE 25 6.5 ROADBASE 80 8.5 DUBAI MUNICIPALITY , Pow 4.2, Pt = 2-5 , R= 1.0 25,000,000 ESAL n@ SN1 for Road Base: 7.3979 A = Log(1) + 0:372 ( 8.5 - 3) B= 9.36 log ( SNL +1) ~ 0.2 Cc = 0.2009 / [ 0.4 + 2094/ (SN1 +1 ) +294 7.3979 =A +BHC solve Bab principle but by using s = 6.5 3.
