Road Design

This document provides specifications for designing a flexible pavement for a road, including: - Dimensions and traffic information for the road being designed - Calculations to determine the cumulative number of standard axles the design must accommodate - Determination of the traffic category as T8 based on the specifications - Identification of the recommended pavement cross-section layers and thicknesses based on the very poor soil CBR and traffic category, including a 250mm thick modified soil/improved subgrade layer below the 400mm minimum required below ground level.

DATA

California Bearing Ratio as per soil report CBR 2.5 %


Wdith of the road m 3.75 m

It may be noted that flexible roads are designed for the number of repetitions of
Vehicle load on the road rather than the Wheel Load.
