CHAPTER 01
INTRODUCTION
1. GENERAL
Highway engineering is a specialised with in the discipline of Highways are a major feature of any
industrialised country and modern economies depends on them. Highway engineering considers all aspects
related to the design of the raids themselves, as well as how pedestrians are damaged.
Highway engineers study the traffic volumes and patterns to determine the best strategies to minimise traffic,
prevent collisions and also limits damage to the road structure caused by passage of vehicles. Highway
engineering is a branch of transportation engineering which deals with the design, construction and
maintenance of different types of roads. It is also called as road engineering and it involves the study of
following:
Highway Plans: The drawings prepared from the data collected during survey conducted for locating a
highway are known as highway plans or drawings.
The various plans or drawings prepared in connection with a road project are keymap, index map, preliminary
survey plans, etc.
They provide conveyance to the people, goods, raw materials etc. to reach different parts of country.
They are the only one source of communication in hilly regions.
Helps in agricultural developments
Helps in tourism development
Helps in maintaining law and order in a country
They improve the medical facilities and its generate more employment opportunities.
They play important role in defence activities.
They become the symbol of county’s progress and development.
11
Characteristics of roads or Highway engineering:
Followings are the characteristics of road transport
It can be used by all types of vehicles including cycles, rickshaws, automobiles, passenger cars,
busses, truck, etc.
It is nearest mode of transport for people or public.
It offers flexibility of changes in direction of travel as per need, comfort and convenience.
It saves time of travel especially for short distance and light traffic because the road vehicles can be
taken up to or very near to the point of destination.
It requires small investments and maintenance cost a compared to railways, airports, docks and
harbours.
Road transport save time particularly for short distance travel.
They are assigned the respective number for the sake of convenience such as NH-1, NH-2, and NH-3
and so on;
To meet with the present-day fast-moving traffic, the Express highways or Expressways have been
constructed recently for connecting important places. The responsibility of construction and maintenance of
these roads lies with the central Government.
12
1.1.1. Express Way
Expressways are a separate class of highways with superior facilities and design standards. These
Expressways have controlled access and grade separation at all roads and rail crossing. It is the routes having
very highway volume of traffic. These highways should allow only Fast-moving vehicles. These roads are of
higher class than National Highway.
Under the National Highway Development Programmes (NHDP), Plans have been made to build 4 to 6 lane
express highway since 1991. Expressways may be owned by the state government or central government,
depending on whether the route is state highway or national highway.
1.2 Pavements
Pavement is one type of hard surface made from durable surface material laid down on an area that is intended
to carry vehicular or foot traffic. Its main function is to distribute the applied vehicle loads to the sub-grade
through different layers. The road pavement should provide sufficient skid resistance, proper riding quality
favourable light reflecting characteristics, and low noise pollution.
Its goal is to reduce the vehicle transmitted load so that it will not exceed the bearing capacity of the sub-
grade. The Road Pavement are playing a crucial role in the development of any construction. There are mainly
two types of road pavement used namely flexible and rigid pavements road.
13
Ideal Road Pavement Requirement
A good pavement should possess the following requirement,
It should have required thickness to distribute the wheel load stresses to a safe value on the sub-grade soil.
It should be structurally strong to resist all types of stresses imposed upon it.
To prevent the skidding of vehicles, it should have sufficient co-efficient of friction.
Is should have a smooth level surface that offers comfort to road users even at high speed.
Ensure less noise when the vehicle moving on it.
It should be dustproof so that there is no danger of traffic safety.
It must provide am impervious surface, so that sub-grade soil is well protected, and
It should offer low maintenance with long life.
Flexible Pavement.
Rigid Pavement.
1.2.1.1 Flexible Pavement
In Flexible pavement, wheel loads are transferred to subgrade by grain-to grain transfer through the
points of contact in granular structure. The wheel load stresses acting on the pavement are distributed to a
larger area and the stress decreases with the depth. These types of roads have less flexural strength, act like a
flexible sheet (e.g. bituminous road).
Considering this load distribution characteristics of flexible pavements, it has many layers. Hence a
flexible pavement design system uses the concept of a layered system. By considering this the flexible
pavement should have better quality to sustain maximum compressive stress, in addition, to wear and tear.
Below layers are accepted to experience the magnitude of stress and low-quality material can be used.
In the construction of flexible roads mainly bituminous materials are used. Defects in the flexible road
can be seen on the surface if there is a settlement of the lower layer. The design of flexible pavement is done
by considering the overall performance of the road and the stresses produced should be kept well below the
allowable stresses of each layer.

2. Sub-Bases

4. Bituminous Layer
14
1. Sub-grade
The subgrade is a base of all Pavement Layers. All the above pavement layers transfer the stress to
this layer. So, it is essential to ensure that soil sub-grade is not over stressed therefore, is should be properly
compacted to the desired density, near the optimum moisture content.
The top of the prepared foundation layer immediately below the pavement, designated as
subgrade, can be made up of in-situ material, select soil, or stabilized soil forming the foundation for the
pavement. It should be well compacted to derive optimal strength and to limit the rutting caused due to
additional densification of the layer during the service life. When the subgrade is formed using a material
which is stronger than the upper of embankment soil or when the subgrade itself is prepared in two separate
layers with significantly different strengths, the effective combined contribution of the subgrade and the
embankment layers has to be considered for design.
The elastic/resilient moduli of different pavement layers are the main inputs for the analysis and design of
pavements. Since the measurement of resilient modulus of soil requires sophisticated equipment, the same is
generally estimated from the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of the material.
2. Sub-Bases
The sub-base layer serves three functions: (i) to provide a strong support for the compaction of the
granular base (WMM/WBM) layer (ii) to protect the subgrade from overstressing and (iii) to serve as drainage
and filter layers. The sub-base layers can be made of granular material which can be unbound or chemically
stabilized with additives such as cement, lime, fly ash and other cementitious stabilizers. The thickness of the
sub-base, whether bound or unbound, should meet these functional requirements. To meet these requirements,
minimum sub-base thicknesses have been specified in the following paragraphs.
If the thickness of the sub-base layer provided in the design permits, the sub-base layer shall have two sub
layers; drainage layer and the filter layer. The upper layer of the sub-base functions as a drainage layer to
drain away the water that enters through surface cracks. The lower layer of the sub-base should function as the
filter/separation layer to prevent intrusion of subgrade soil into the pavement.
If the design thickness of the granular sub-base is less than or equal to 200 mm, both drainage and filter layers
cannot be provided separately.
When GSB layer is also provided below the median in continuation with that of the pavement, a non-woven
geo-synthetic may be provided over the GSB in the median part so that the fines percolating through the
median do not enter into the GSB and choke it.
15
3. Bases
The base layer consists of wet mix macadam, water bound macadam, crusher run macadam,
reclaimed concrete, etc.,
Wet mix macadam may also consist of blast furnace slag mixed with crushed stone meeting the MoRTH
specifications. The thickness of the unbound granular layer shall not be less than 150 mm except for the crack
relief layer placed over cement treated base for which the thickness shall be 100 mm.
When both sub-base and the base layers are made up of unbound granular layers, the composite resilient
modulus of the granular base can be estimated using equation 7.1 taking MRGRAN as the modulus of the
combined (GSB + Granular base) granular layer in MPa, ‘h’ as the combined thickness (mm) of the granular
sub-base and base and MRSUPPORT as the effective modulus (MPa) of the subgrade.
4 Bituminous Layer
A bituminous pavement generally consists of bituminous surfacing course and a bituminousBase/binder
course.
(a) Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA),
(b) Gap Graded mix with rubberized bitumen (GGRB) and
(c) Bituminous Concrete (BC) with modified binders,
These are recommended for surfacing course for durable, aging resistant and crack resistant surface courses.
For the Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) mix recommended for high traffic volume roads also, use of modified
binders is preferred as it is expected that mixes with modified binders will result in longer service life and will
be more resistant to aging. For highly stressed areas or roads in high rainfall areas and junction locations,
mastic asphalt mix can be used as an alternative surface course.
For Non-National Highway roads with less than 20 msa design traffic, besides the SMA, GGRB and BC (with
modified binders) mixes recommended for surface course are Bituminous Concrete, Semi Dense Bituminous
Concrete (SDBC), Pre-Mix Carpet (PMC), Mix Seal Surfacing (MSS) and Surface Dressing (SD) with
unmodified binders. The thin bituminous layers such as PC, MSS and SD shall not be considered as part of
the bituminous layer for analysis of the pavement.
Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) mix with VG40 binder and confirming to IRC and MoRTH
specifications shall be the material used for base/binder courses for roads with 20 msa or more design traffic.
Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM)/Bituminous Macadam (BM) can be used as base/binder courses for
roads with design traffic less than 20 msa.
These guidelines recommend VG30/VG40 bitumen for design traffic less than 20 msa and VG40 bitumen and
modified bitumen for design traffic greater than 20 msa. For expressways and national highways, even if the
design traffic is 20 msa or less, VG40 or modified bitumen shall be used for surface course and VG40
bitumen shall be used for the DBM.
A Poisson’s ratio value of 0.35 is recommended for the bituminous layer for analysis of the Pavement.
16
For longer life of bituminous pavements, to avoid moisture induced distresses and for better Bottom-up
fatigue resistance, bitumen rich DBM bottom layer is recommended in these guidelines. The rich bottom
mixes are typically designed to have more binder volume by selecting lower design air void content which
yields more design binder content than normal. It is also a common practice to compact the rich bottom
bituminous mixes to smaller in-place air voids. The increased compaction adopted for these mixes will result
in mixes with good aggregate interlocking and will make the mixes stiffer. The increased compaction will also
reduce the mix rutting that might be produced in the mix by secondary compaction under traffic load stresses.
Rigid Pavement are capable to transfer wheel load to a wider area as it has good flexural strength. In rigid
pavement there are not many layers of materials as in the case of flexible pavement.
In rigid directly placed on a well-compacted subgrade or on a single layer of granular or stabilized material.
As there is only a single layer between the concrete and the sub-grade, this layer can be called a base or sub-
base course.
In rigid, the vehicular traffic load is transferred through slab action and the road behaves like an elastic plate
resting on a viscous medium. It is constructed by using Plain cement concrete. Generally, its design is
analysed by plate theory instead of layer theory assuming an elastic plate resting on a viscous foundation.
The plate theory assumes that the road pavement slab is a medium-thick plate that is plane before loading and
to remain plane after loading. Pavement slab experiences bending due to wheel load and temperature variation
and the resulting tensile and flexural stress.

5.3 Design Periods
The design period to be adopted for pavement design is the time span considered appropriate for the road
pavement to function without major rehabilitation. It is recommended that a design period of 20 years may be
adopted for the structural design of pavements for National Highways, State Highways and Urban Roads. For
other categories of roads, a design period of 15 years is recommended.
Pavements for very high density corridors (more than 300 msa) and expressways shall preferably be designed
as long-life pavements.

volume to be considered for divided carriageways where as for other categories of the carriageway, two-way
traffic volume may be considered for applying the lateral distribution factors).
The traffic in the year of completion of construction may be estimated using equation 4.6.
A = P(1 +r)x (4.6)
Where,
5.6.2 For single carriageway (undivided) roads, the pavement may be designed for design traffic estimated
based on the larger of the two VDF values obtained for the two directions. For divided carriageways, different
pavement designs can be adopted for the two directions of traffic depending on the directional distribution of
traffic and the corresponding directional VDF values in the two directions.

IIT PAVE RESULTS AND EFFECTIVE CBR VALUE
6.1 Salient features of IIT PAVE
IITPAVE software has been developed for the analysis of linear elastic layered pavement system. The
stresses, strains and defections caused at different locations in a pavement by a uniformly Distributed single
load applied over a circular contact area at the surface of pavement can be Computed using this software. The
effect of additional loads (which should also be uniformly Distributed loads over circular contact areas) was
considered using superposition principle. The single vertical load applied at the surface is described in terms
of
(a) Contact pressure and radius of contact area OR
(b) Wheel load and contact pressure OR
(c) Wheel load and radius of contact area.
For IITPAVE, wheel load and contact pressure are the load inputs. The pavement inputs required are the
elastic properties (elastic/resilient moduli and Poisson’s ratio values of all the pavement layers) and the
thicknesses of all the layers (excluding subgrade). IITPAVE software, in its current version, can be used to
analyse pavements with a maximum of ten layers including the subgrade.
If the number of layers in the pavement is more than ten, different layers of similar nature (eg. granular,
bituminous) can be combined and considered as one layer. Cylindrical coordinate system is followed in the
program. Thus, the location of any element in the pavement is defined by (a) depth of the location of the
element from the surface of the pavement and the radial distance of the element measured from the vertical
axis of symmetry.

(c) Click on Design New Pavement Section to give inputs for the analysis of the
selected Pavement section
(d) The inputs to be entered are:
(i) Number of pavement layers including subgrade (if, all the bituminous layers are taken as one bituminous
layer and all the granular layers are taken as one layer, then the number of layers is 3 (bituminous layer,
granular layer and subgrade).
(ii) Resilient modulus/Elastic modulus values of all the layers in MPa
(iii) Poisson’s ratio values of all the layers
(iv) Thicknesses (in mm) of all the layers except subgrade.
(e) Single wheel load: For the purpose of calculation of critical strains such as vertical compressive strain on
top of subgrade, horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of bituminous layer and horizontal tensile strain at the
bottom of cement treated layers, since the analysis is done for a standard axle of 80 kN, a single wheel load of
20000 (N) is given as input. For carrying out cumulative fatigue damage analysis of CTB layers, the tensile
stress/strain at the bottom of the CTB layer has to be calculated for different axle loads. For this, the IITPAVE
will be run with different single wheel loads corresponding to the axle load considered, For example, if tensile
stress due to a single axle load (with dual wheels) of 100 kN is to be calculated, a single wheel load of 25,000
(N) is given as input. For estimating the effective subgrade strength as per para 6.4 of the guidelines, select a
single wheel load of 40,000 (N)
(f) Tyre (contact) pressure: For calculation of the vertical compressive strain on top of the subgrade and the
horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of bituminous layer, a contact pressure of 0.56 MPa is considered. For
analysing the tensile strain or tensile stress at the bottom of the CTB base for carrying out fatigue damage
analysis of CTB bases using equations 3.5 to 3.7, the contact pressure suggested is 0.80 MPa. The bituminous
layer bottom-up fatigue cracking and subgrade rutting performance models have been developed/calibrated
with the strains calculated with standard axle (80 kN) loading and a contact pressure of 0.56 MPa and hence,
these inputs should not be changed
(g) The number of locations in the pavement at which stress/strain/deflection has to be computed. This input
can be entered through a drop down menu
(h) For the locations selected for the analysis, the values of depth (mm) from pavement surface and the radial
distance (mm) from the centre of the wheel are to be given.
(i) IITPAVE Software provides the option to carryout analysis for a single wheel load or for
a dual wheel load set (two wheels at a centre to centre spacing of 310 mm) by selecting 1 or 2 respectively
from the drop down menu next to “Wheel Set”. For design of pavements, select “Dual Wheel set” option. For
estimating the effective subgrade strength as per the procedure given in para 6.4, select single wheel.

6.2Resilient modulus of the subgrade
Resilient modulus, which is measured taking into account only the elastic (or resilient) component of the
deformation (or strain) of the specimen in a repeated load test is considered to be the appropriate input for
linear elastic theory selected in these guidelines for the analysis of flexible pavements. The resilient modulus
of soils can be determined in the laboratory by conducting the repeated tri-axial test as per the procedure
detailed in AASHTO. Since this equipment are usually expensive, the following relationships may be used to
estimate the resilient modulus of subgrade soil (MRS) from its CBR value.
(i) Using IITPAVE software, determine the maximum surface deflection (δ) due to a single wheel load of
40,000 N and a contact pressure of 0.56 MPa for a two- or three-layer elasticSystem comprising of a single (or
two sub-layers) of the 300 mm thick subgrade layer over the semi-infinite embankment layer. The elastic
moduli of subgrade and embankment soils/layers may be estimated from equations 6.1 and 6.2 using their
may be taken as 0.35 for all the layers.
(ii) Using the maximum surface deflection (δ) computed in step (i) above, estimate the resilient modulus MRS
of the equivalent single layer using equation 6.3.
MRS =2(1−𝜇2)
𝛿
Where,
p = contact pressure = 0.56 MPa
a = radius of circular contact area, which can be calculated using the load applied
(40,000 N) and the contact pressure ‘p’ (0.56 MPa) = 150.8 mm

CONCLUSION
As an under graduate of RR POLYTECHNIC to say this training program excellent opportunity for us to get
the ground level and experience the things that we would have never gained through going straight in a job. I
am grateful to the RR POLYTECHNIC for giving the wonderful opportunity.
After completing my internship, I had been exposed to civil engineering life. Throughout my internship, I
could understand more about the definition of civil engineering construction prepare myself to become a
responsible and innovation construction technique in future. Along my training, I realise that observation is a
main element to find out the root cause of a problem. Not only for my project but daily activities too. During
my project, I co-operate with my colleagues and faculty of training institution to determine the problems.
Moreover, the project indirectly helps me to learn independently, discipline myself, to considerate/patient,
self-trust and take initiative and ability to solve problems. Besides my communication skills training period, I
have received criticism and advice from engineers when mistakes were made. However, those advices are
useful guidance for me to change myself and avoid myself making the same mistakes again.
