 Allowable Strain Calculation
Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the bituminous layers

Calculation of Tensile strain

Nf = 1.6064 x C x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 80 % reliability
Nf = 0.5161 x C x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 90 % reliability
Where C = 10^M, M=(4.84x (Vb /(Va+Vb)-0.69))
Va = 3.5 Vb = 11.5
1/εt = 4435.56326 #VALUE!
εt = 225.45E-06 (90%) Allowable Tensile strain
εt
Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the cemented base

Not Applicable

N= RF x [ (113000/E0.804+191) / εt ]12 RF = 1 if >1500 CVD and 2 if <1500 CVD

N= N/A
1/εt = N/A
εt = N/A in microstrain
εt = 000.00E+00 Allowable Tensile strain

Vertical Compresive Strain at the bottom of the Granular sub base

Calculation of Vertical strain

N = 4.1656*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 80 % reliability
N = 1.41*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 90 % reliability
1/εv = (20000000/(4.1656*10^-8))^(1/4.5337)
1/εv = 1730.89891

εv = 577.73E-06 (90%) Allowable Vertical strain

Comparison of allowable strain with actual strain(from IITPAVE)

Values given below are micro strain

Allowable Actual
Tensile strain at the bottom of bituminous layers 225 micro Strain 349 micro Strain
0 micro Strain 0 micro Strain
Vertical compressive strain at the top of Sub grade 578 micro Strain 523 micro Strain

The section is unsafe in tension at bottom of bituminous layer

The section is safe under compressive strain check
