AASHTO FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN (50Pt)

A flexible pavement is to be designed using the AASHTO design procedure. Some design inputs are
provided below.

Available information:
- Highway classification: Heavy traffic
- Design reliability: 95%
- Standard deviation: 0.35
- Initial serviceability : 4.5
- Terminal serviceability : 2.5

Traffic:
Based on traffic counts from a nearby road and projected growth estimates, approximately 10 million
ESAL’s are forecasted in the design lane of the subject pavement over the next 30years.

Material properties:
The materials for this project are shown in table 1. Assume drainage coefficients m1 and m2 equal to 1.00.

Table 1. Available material design values

Material Properties
Asphalt Concrete (AC) E = 450000psi
Crushed stone Mr = 40000psi
Sand Mr = 28000psi
Subgrade Mr = 4000psi
