Traffic Data: Pavement Design

The document provides details on pavement design for a road, including: 1) Traffic data such as average daily traffic of 25,500 vehicles and 15% being trucks. 2) Estimation of the total equivalent standard axles per year of 3.9 million based on the traffic data. 3) Determination of required structural layer thicknesses of 15cm for asphalt, 18cm for base, and 18cm for subbase to provide a total pavement thickness of 24.7cm. 4) Calculation of the projected total cost of the pavement design to be over 98 million RM, with the stone mastic asphalt layer accounting for over 73 million RM of that total cost

PAVEMENT DESIGN

Traffic Data

ADT = 25, 500 vehicles (both direction)


% Trucks = 15
1ffic growth factor = 12.58
Design period = 10 years
Directional distribution = 60/40
Lane distribution
Slow lane = 65%
Middle lane = 25%
Fast lane = 10%
Lane width = 3.70 m ( 12 ft)

Detailed information on trucks

Cars, pickups, light vans = two 2000-lb (8.9-kN) single axles ( 40%)
Single-unit truck = 8000-lb (35.6 kN) steering, single axle ( 15%)
= 22,000-lb (97.9-kN) drive, single axle ( 15%)
Tractor semi-trailer truck = 10,000-lb (44.5-kN) steering, single axle (10%)
= 16,000-lb (71.2-kN) drive, tandem axle (10%)
= 44, 000-lb (195.7-kN) trailer, triple axle (10%)

Traffic Estimation

Vo = ADTT*Dd*Ld*365*Pc/100

ADTT = ADT * T%

ADTT = 25500*0.15

ADTT = 3'825.00

Determine Pc :
In terms of the table 6.4 the EALF can be found so :
Cars, pickups, light vans
2 * 0.00018 = 0.00036
0.00036 * 0.4 = 0.000144
Single-unit truck
0.0343*0.15=0.00514
2.18*0.15=0.327
Tractor semi-trailer truck
0.0877*0.1=0.00877
0.0472*0.1*2 =0.00944
0.723*0.1*3 = 0.2169
Pc = 0.000144 + 0.00514+0.327+0.00877+0.00944+0.2169
Pc= 0.567

Vo=3825*0.60*0.65*365*0.567

Vo = 308'725.1213

In which Vo is the initial annual commercial traffic for one direction .

The total number of commercial vehicles for one direction Vc is obtained by :

Vc = (Vo*(((1+r)^x) – 1 )) / r

Vc = Vo * Gi

Vc= 308725.1213 * 12.58

Vc = 3883762.026 psi

Vc = 3.9 * 10^6

In this case we have :

The total equivalent standard axles (ESA) can determine as :

ESA = Vc

ESA = 3.90 * 10^6

The maximum hourly traffic volume is calculated as follows :

C=I*R*T

For determining the above equation we should use the table 3.2 , 3.3 and 3.4 on the JKR

Road type = Multilane

I = 2000*3 = 6000

R= 1.00

T= 100 / (100+pc)
T= 100/(100+15)

T= 0.87

C= 6000 * 1 * 0.87

C= 5220 veh/hour/lane

C reflects 10% of the 24 hours , then the one way daily capacity is as follows:

C= 10 * c

C = 52200 veh/day/lane

V = ( ADT * (1+r)^x) / 2

Gi=12.58

For finding r ,we can use the 6.13,

r=0.05

V= ( 25500 * (1+0.05)^10 ) / 2

V = 20768.41 veh/day/lane

Hence capacity has not been reached after 10 years .

Determine the subgrade CBR:

The CBR can be found by the resilient modulus of subgrade soil which is :

Subgrade, MR= 48 Mpa (7,000 psi)


In terms of the subgrade resilient modulus we have :
CBR = 48 / 10
CBR = 4.80
From the above nomograph, the chart shows that for ESA of 8.30*10^6

,the required TA is 24.70 cm

Determine the Structural Layer Coefficient :

For estimating this number for each layers we can use the Table 3.5
a1=1.00

a2=0.32

a3=0.23
Design of Layer Thickness :

In terms of the table 3.8 ,the minimum thickness of bituminous layer in this case will be 15.0
cm.

TA = a1D1 + a2D2 + a3D3

1st Trial :

Nominate

D1=15.00 cm

D2=16.00 cm

D3=18.00 cm

Then

TA = 1.00*15.00 + 0.32*16 + 0.23*18

TA = 24.26 ≤ T

Second Trial

D1=15 cm

D2=18 cm

D3=18 cm

T 24. ≈ T

So the Final thickness of Asphalt, Base and Subbase layers are :

D1 = 15 cm

D2 = 18 cm

D3 = 18 cm
Cost considerations :
Cost of Materials and construction (includes transportation cost)

Crusher-run Base = RM 22.00 tonne


Sand Subbase = RM 15.00 per tonne
Stone Mastic Asphalt = RM 330.00 per tonne

Cost of construction RM 15.50 per sq meter

cubic meters * density = tonnes

Cost of Required No. Lane Road


Thickness Construction Project Cost
Layer Material Density of Width Length
(m) cost (m²) (RM)
(RM/ton) (ton/m³) Lane (m) (m)

SMA 330.00 2.35 6 3.7 25000 0.15 15.50 73'162'875


Base 22.00 2.25 6 3.7 25000 0.18 15.50 13'547'550
Subbase 15.00 2.3 6 3.7 25000 0.18 15.50 12'049'050

98'759'475
Total =
RM

The above table is indicated that the sum of cost will be more than 98 million RM which is
affected from the Stone Matric Asphalt layer which is more than 73million RM.
