Calculation of Overlay Thickness

DATA:
THICKNESS OF THE EXISTING PAVEMENT = 23.00 cm
MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION = 400 pci
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF PCCP = 3,500 psi
MODULUS OF ELASTICITY OF PCCP = 3,372,165 psi
LOAD TRANSFER COEFFICIENT = 3.8
DESIGN LIFE PERIOD OF ASPHALT OVERLAY = 10 YRS

Design Assumption:
Adopted Traffic Growth Rate ,i is 0.04

0
Type of Vehicle ESAL

RIGID TRUCK 2 AXLES 2.05

RIGID TRUCK 3 AXLES 12.62
TRUCK SEMI-TRAILER (3 AND 4 AXLES) 16.61
TRUCK SEMI-TRAILER (5 + AXLES) 14.74

DESIGN TRAFFIC LOAD DT = W18 x DD x DL

PCCP Design Life Period, n is 10 years

Directional Distribution Factor, DD is 50%

Lane Distribution Factor, DL is 90% considering one(1) lane in each direction per DO#22 Series of 2011
Table 1. Lane Distribution Factor

W18 = Pi (1+i) - 1 x 365 x EF
i

W18 = 343 ((1+0.04)^10-1)/0.04 x 365 x 2.05 = 3,081,364.392

W18 = 88 ((1+0.04)^10-1)/0.04 x 365 x 12.62 = 4,866,728.349

W18 = 6 ((1+0.04)^10-1)/0.04 x 365 x 16.61 = 436,732.952

W18 = 10 ((1+0.04)^10-1)/0.04 x 365 x 14.74 = 645,940.569

W18 = 9,030,766.26

DT = 9,030,766.26 x 0.5 x 0.9

= 4,063,844.82 CESAL

NO. OF FUTURE ESALs OVER THE DESIGN LIFE = 4,063,845

INITIAL SERVICEABILITY INDEX, Po = 4.5
TERMINAL SERVICEABILITY INDEX, Pt = 2.0
SERVICEABILITY LOSS = 2.50
Overall Standard Deviation, So = 0.35
DESIRED RELIABLITY = 85%
STANDARD NORMAL DEVIATION, ZR = -1.037
SOLUTION:

1. COMPUTE THE MODULUS OF RUFTURE OF THE PCCP

PCCP MODULUS OF RUPTURE, S'c = 650 psi

2. COMPUTE THE REQUIRED THICKNESS OF THE FUTURE PAVEMENT

3. ESTIMATE THE CONDITION FACTOR FOR EXISTING PCC PAVEMENT

Joints and Cracks Adjustment Factor, Fjc = 0.99

Durability Adjustment Factor, Fdur = 0.99

Fatigue Adjustment Factor, Ffat = 0.99

4. COMPUTE THE EFFECTIVE PAVEMENT THICKNESS

Deff = (Fjc) (Fdur) (Ffat) (D) = 22.3 cm

= 8.93 in

5. COMPUTE THE CORRECTION FACTOR

2
A = 2.2233 + 0.0099(DF-DEFF) - 0.1534(DF-DEFF) = 2.34 in.

6. COMPUTE THE REQUIRED THICKNESS OF OVERLAY

IF OVERLAY IS ASPHALT CONCRETE/HOT MIXED ASPHALT

DOL = A(DF-DEFF) = -42 mm

THEREFORE, USE 50 MM. MINIMUM OVERLAY THICKNESS.
