Design of Cement Concrete Pavement: 1 Design Data Design Traffic Case Case-3
1 Design data
Design Traffic case Case-3
(Case 1 Only wheel load stress :
Case 2 Temperature and wheel load stresses without fatigue:
Case 3 fatigue analysis considering load and temperature
Case 1: design traffic is <50cvpd
Case 2 : traffic is in between 50 to 150 cvpd
Case 3 traffic is >150 cvpd )
Design Life of Pavement 20 Years
Design Wheel load P= 50 KN
Tyre pressure q = 0.5 Mpa
CBR Value considered 2%
From Table 1, the k value corresponding to a CBR value
21 Mpa/m
of 2%
Elastic modulus of concrete E, Mpa 30000 Mpa
No. of commercial vehicels per day , P = 150 CVPD
2 Sub Base
75 mm thick WBM over 100 mm GSB
Effective K value
Since a sub-base is provided, the K value can be increased by 20%
Effective K value 1.2 x 21 = 25.2 Mpa/m
Effective K value for cement bases 2 x 21 = 42 Mpa/m
Concrete strength
adopt a 28 days compressive strength of 30 Mpa
28 day flexural strength 0.7 √ fck = 3.835 Mpa
Modulus of rupture of concrete, fcr
90 day flexural strength 1.10 x 3.835 = 4.22 Mpa
2 Slab thickness
Adopting slab thickness h= 0.2 m
200 mm
3 Wheel load stress
For Case - 1
Modified Subgrade reaction is K= 42 Mpa/m
Radius of relative stiffness =
l= {(𝐸×ℎ^3)/(12×𝐾
l= 835.45 m
(0.803 𝑥 𝑃
Stress developed, σ, Mpa = (0.803 𝑥 𝑃
Where,
a = Radius of contact, (mm) =
5 FATIGUE ANALYSIS
For Case -3
No. of commercial vehicels per day , P = 150 CVPD
Rate of increase of traffic = 0.05 = 5 %
Truck with 50kN Wheel load, p % 10 %
Design life of pavement, yrs 20 Yrs
Design no. of vehicles for fatigue analysis, N = P x [(1+r)^n-1] x365 x p/(100xr)
= 181037 Nos of repetations
