Laden =06

V.D.F for HCV

V.D.F for MCV

Laden=2.86

Laden =0.34

Unladen =0.31

Unladen =0.02

To=EASL/DAY = No. of Commercial Vehicles/Day in the year of opening x V.D.F

To =(6 x 2.86 +6 x 0.31 +10 x 0.34 +10 x 0.02) = 22.62
Lane distribution factor l=1; Age of road (n)=10 years
Time of completion =2 Years; Growth Rate =06%
Cumulative standard axles load application
N=To x 365 x[(1+0.06)12 -1/0.06] x 1
=22.62 x 4811 x 1= 108824.82
CBR=05 %(Km 1-3) i.e. thickness required

= 300MM

CBR=03%(Km 4-6) i.e thickness required

= 375MM

CBR =04%(Km 7-11.7) i.e thickness required = 375MM

But due to frost zone adopt thickness of 450 MM as per para 8(ix) of IRC SP-72
20 MM O.G.P.C
