    The document provides a solution for designing a two-lane carriageway pavement with a 15-year design life using IRC methods. The initial annual traffic is 150 vehicles per day in each direction, growing at 5% annually. With a vehicle damage factor of 2.5 standard axles per commercial vehicle and a subgrade CBR of 4%, the total traffic over 15 years is calculated as 4.4 million standard axles. Based on the IRC 2001 chart, a total pavement thickness of 580mm is required. The pavement composition consists of a 20mm prime coat and 50mm bituminous macadam surfacing, 250mm granular base, and 280mm granular sub-base.

    Problems

    1. Design the pavement for construction of a new two lane carriageway for design life 15 years using IRC
    method. The initial traffic in the year of completion in each direction is 150 CVPD and growth rate is
    5%. Vehicle damage factor based on axle load survey = 2.5 std axle per commercial vehicle. Design CBR
    of subgrade soil=4%.

    Solutions
    1. Distribution factor = 0.75

    2.
     
    365 × (1 + 0.05)15 − 1)
    N = × 300 × 0.75 × 2.5
    0.05
    = 4430348.837
    = 4.4 msa

    3. Total pavement thickness for CBR 4% and traffic 4.4 msa from IRC:37 2001 chart1 = 580 mm

    4. Pavement composition can be obtained by interpolation from Pavement Design Catalogue (IRC:37 2001).

    (a) Bituminous surfacing = 20 mm PC + 50 mm BM


    (b) Road-base = 250 mm Granular base
    (c) sub-base = 280 mm granular material.
