    This document provides an overview of principles of pavement design. It discusses the objectives of rational pavement design and how pavements can fail functionally or structurally. It outlines key parameters to consider for design, such as pavement type, number of layers, layer materials, and joint spacing. The document discusses flexible and rigid pavement designs and their components. It emphasizes that pavement design is challenging due to complex loading and climatic conditions. The document also discusses performance criteria for functional performance relating to surface characteristics and structural performance relating to load-associated distresses. It notes advantages of mechanistic-empirical design approaches over empirical approaches.

    PRINCIPLES PAVEMENT DESIGN

    By
    Sri. A. Ramesh, (Ph.D)

    Objectives

    To understand the need for rational design of Pavement To understand how pavements fail functionally or structurally. Key parameters to be consider for design It makes us understand the differences of different Pavement design approaches

    For What Purpose Are Pavements Being Built And Where

    Pavements is a structure which are intended to carry vehicular traffic


    pavements are provided at
    Air

    These

    Ports Terminals Highways Terminals

    Types of Pavements

    Un Surfaced

    Earthen roads Gravel roads Bituminous Road Cement Concrete Road

    Further Classification of Pavements

    Reinforced Concrete Plane Concrete Roads

    Rigid Pavements

    PAVEMENT DESIGN

    It is very challenging task compared to any other structure

    Complex loading
    Complex

    behavior for various climatic

    condition It is difficult in colleting information on performance modeling for various materials.

    DESIGN PARAMETER
    Pavement

    Type No. Layers Layer Materials Joint Spacing for RCC

    External Parameters

    Sub grade Strength.

    Soil type, Strength, drainage Characteristics. No. Vehicles, type of vehicle, Speed, Load Total Rainfall in year, Seasonal Distribution. Temperature (Max, Min, Daily Seasonal)

    Traffic loading.

    Climatic Condition.

    What Does Design means?

    For any given facility design is a process of selecting appropriate values of parameters in such away that facility performs satisfactory.

    Key words

    Design parameters Performance

    PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE

    Functional Performance

    Surface Characteristics eg. Pot holes, Cracks, Rutting, Variation in longitudinal profile It is desirable to ensure that the surface characteristics are with in acceptable limits

    FATIGUE

    Fatigue cracking

    STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE

    Mostly of the distress/ defects, Rutting are caused by traffic loads

    Some are also caused by non load associated factors


    Temperature, moisture, poor quality of materials, inadequate maintenance. if the pavement shows load associated distress it is considered to have failed structurally. Eg. Cracking, Rutting, Bleeding in Flexible Mud pumping, Blow up in CC Pavement

    RUTTING

    Rutting in wheel paths

    Reflection cracking at PCC Joints

    For What Pavement is to Be Design?


    Functional

    Performance

    For road user FP is matter

    Structural

    Performance

    For designer SP is matter

    PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

    Empirical Criteria

    Correlated to simple parameters like CBR, Soil Index, Sub-grade. They do explain Load Vs Stress for different materails. As result Empirical Methods cope up with new materials

    Mechanistic Empirical Criteria

    MECHANISTIC EMPIRICAL CRITERIA

    Explain different phenomena (Stress, Strain Deflection) occurring in the pavement & the physical causes is explained using mathematical modeling. Advantageous.

    Can Handel varying load condition, new materials. Contribution of different materials components is better understood and thus optimal utilization is possible More reliable and is called as rational.

    Empirical Approach Drawbacks


    Cannot cope with novel materials or pavement structures.

    It is like driving a car by only looking in the rear vision mirror, you could only be sure where you had been, but not where you were going

    PERFORMANCE CRITERION IS HEART OF PAVEMENT DESIGN

    Design of Flexible Pavements
