    • Determine the Load Equivalency Factor for the vehicle shown below according to
    Overseas Road Note-31.

    What will be the ESAL for such 10000 vehicles? If the expected annual traffic growth
    rate is 4% for such vehicles, determine the design ESAL for a design period of 20 years.

    • Design a Bitumen Surfaced Road in a tropical country using following data according to
    Road Note-31.

    ESA = 2 x 106
    Design CBR of Subgrade = 6%
    Discuss all options/possibilities in this regard.

    • Design a Flexible Pavement (rural interstate highway) according to AASHTO Method


    using following data.

    Design ESAL = 2 x 106


    One week for water to be drained
    Saturation level moisture exposure = 30% of the time
    AC’s Mr at 68°F (20°C) = 450000 lb./in2
    CBR of base course material = 100%
    CBR of sub-base material = 22%
    CBR of subgrade = 6%
