CONTENTS:
Pavement designing of SH-34.
Estimation of SH-34.

The pavement design given by different bodies like IRC,

CHIT, IHE, HRB ,etc.

Here we will follows the IRC method of design which is
prescribed by MORTH(ministry of road transportation &
highway)
We will use the code IRC-37-1984 and IRC-81-1987 for
the designing of pavement.
There is two Formula of road design
1.empirical method(30 msa).
2.analytical method (150 msa)
(msa=million standard axles)

Design Factor
Design of wheel. load depends on tyre pressure contact pressure etc.
It also depends on the repetation of load and ESWL
( equivalent single wheel load).

Methods for calculation of design factor:

Group index method ,

CBR method(CHSD),
CBR method(IRC),
CBR method by cumulative standard axle load,
California resistance value method,
Macleod method

Analytical method of design.

As per irc-37-2001 based on the performance of the

existing design and using analytical approach, simple

charts(fig-7 and fig-2) and a catalogue of pavement
design (table-1, table-2) has been added for use of our
project.
Our design is depend upon CBR value range and design
traffic value ranging from 1 msa to 150 msa for an
average annual temp of 35 degree c.

DESIGN
Design traffic in terms of
cumulative no. Of axle.

CBR value of subgrade.

TRAFFIC
The recommended method consider traffic in terms of

cumulative no. of standard axle (8160 kg) to carried by

pavement during the design period.
For the estimating design traffic the following information
is needed.
1.initial traffic data in terms of no. of commercial vehicle
per day(CVPD)
2.traffic growth rate during the design life in %.
3.design life in no. of year.
4.vehicle damage factor.
5.distribution of commercial traffic over the carriageway.

Laboratory Test
For our project we have done CBR Test as per below

details:-

CBR- CBR test, an empirical test, has been used to

determine the material properties for pavement design.

Empirical tests measure the strength of the material and are

not a true representation of the resilient modulus. It is a

penetration test wherein a standard piston, having an area of
3 in2 (or 50 mm diameter), is used to penetrate the soil at
a standard rate of 1.25 mm/minute. The pressure up to a
penetration of 12.5 mm and its ratio to the bearing value of a
standard crushed rock is termed as the CBR.

Specification:a. CBR apparatus consist mould of

150mm dia width, base and collar

b. Specimen collected from field.

c. A load is applied by standard plunger

with dia 150 mm @ of 1.25mm/min.

d. Get a curve with a load value on
standard 1370 and 2056kg.
e. The value is explain in % of actual
load by penetration of 2.5mm and
5mm.
f. C
.
g. Two value obtained, we will be

choose larger one.

COMPUTATION OF DESIGN TRAFFIC VOLUME

o The design traffic is considered in terms of cumulative no of standard

axle (in the lane carrying max. load) to be carried out during the design
life of the road.

A=CVPD, N=cumulative no. of standard axle

D=lane distribution factor, F=vehicle damage factor.
n=design life of road, r=annual growth
x= no. of year between the last count &year completion of
construction, P= no. of commercial vehicle as per last count

Cont..
o Generally we consider 7.5% annual growth if adequate

data not available for details we can refers IRC 108.

DESIGN LIFE:
It is 10 to 20 year.
Vehicle Design Factor:
The vehicle damage factor is a multiplier to convert the
no. of commercial vehicle of different axle load to the no.
of standard axle load repetition.

The distribution of commercial traffic over the carriageway will be based on both direction.
It is based on 75% of total no of commercial vehicle.

Pavement Thickness and

Composition: For the design of pavements to carry traffic in the

range of 1 to 10 msa, the pavement thickness chart is

given in figure and the traffic in the range is 10-150
Msa, the pavement thickness design chart is given in
figure(by IRC 37-2001).

Design of SH-34:- (By using IRC standard).

DATA:
After traffic volume survey we get the CVPD=194
Design life of SH is=10 year
Traffic growth as per IRC=7.5%.
Design vehicle design factor=3.5(rolling area).
CBR % data=3.42% approximately=4%
DESIGN PART:
Distribution factor for two lane single carriageway of
highway= 0.75%.
So
N= (365*((1+r) n-1))/r (*A*D*F)
= (365*((1+0.75)10-1))/0.075*400*0.75*3.5
=2629607.572
=2.62 MSA (approximately=3 MSA)

Contd
Now by using CBR of 4% value can be find thickness

for 3 Msa.
Graph for total thickness=580 mm.
Then now pavement composition interpolated fro
graph of CBR 4%.
We get the design of pavement thickness from the
graph.
Bituminous surface= 25 mm SDBC
Road base:
GSB=280 mm.
WMM=250 mm.
BM=50 mm.
