Design of Flexible pavement

Name of the Road :- Kothar to Ponthal

PACKAGE No. :-
BLOCK :- Dansal
JKO5-
DISTRICT :- JAMMU Length of Road :- 8.00 KM
ADT in the year of count in Peak Harvesting season =A 139
ADT in the year of count in non- Harvesting season =A/2 70
Average annual Daily traffic (AADT) = XA/2 + (1.2 (1.06)
= AADT x A/2 2x (i.e
75) / 365 86.40
Before opening the road to traffic , assuming initial
AADT in the year of 97.08
growth rate of 6% from the base year data
Proportionate factor opening) = X / (A / 2) 1.39
Peak base year HCV (Laden) =a 23
Peak base year HCV (unladen) =b 16.0
Peak base year MCV (Laden) =c 31
Peak base year MCV (unLaden) =d 12
From the given traffic count details the proportion of HCV and
MCV count of ADT of X works out as under
1) a Heavy commercial vehicles (laden)
= ( Peak base year HCV (Laden) ) / 2 x Proportionate factor = P 15.95
1)b Heavy commercial vehicles (unladen)
= ( Peak base year HCV (UnLaden) ) / 2 x Proportionate factor = Q 11.09
2) a Medium commercial vehicles (laden)
= ( Peak base year MCV (Laden) ) / 2 X Proportionate factor = R 21.50
2)b Medium commercial vehicles (unladen)
= ( Peak base year MCV (UnLaden) ) / 2 x Proportionate factor = S 8.32
Towards computation of ESAL applications, the indicative VDF values (i.e Standard Axles per commercial vehicle) are

yrs, the commulative EASL application (N) over the design life , can be
computed using the formula.
N = (To X 365 (1+0.06) -1) / 0.06 x L
n

where To = EASL per day = no. of commercial vechicle per day in the year of opening x VDF
L = lane distribution factor 1 for single lane and 0.75 for two lane.
N =( To X 365 (1+0.012)10 -1 ) / 0.06 X 1
N = To X 4811
N = 166027
Hence it falls in T-4
