    The document is the notes from a tutorial on pavement design for a civil engineering course. It covers several topics: 1) It introduces the concepts of equal stress and equal deflection criteria for determining equivalent single wheel load (ESWL) and asks students to explain ESWL and factors affecting it. 2) It provides example problems for students to calculate ESWL for different wheel and pavement configurations using graphical methods. 3) It classifies flexible pavement design methods and asks students to explain the Mcleod and CBR methods. Example problems are given applying these methods. 4) It also covers rigid pavement design using Westergaard's stress equations, asking students to calculate stresses at different

    Department of Civil Engineering
    Tutorial – II
    Subject : Pavement Design Code : 10CV833
    Semester : VIII ‘A & B’ Date : 12-04-2018
    Staff : Sathish Y A
    Unit – III
    1 Explain how ESWL is found out by
    i) Equal stress criteria
    ii) Equal deflection criteria
    2 What is ESWL? Mention the various factors affecting the ESWL, state the importance of ESWL.
    3 Explain the concept of ESWL. How is it determined graphically for tandem dual wheel assembly?
    4 Calculate the ESWL of a dual wheel assembly carrying 2044 kg each for pavement thickness of 150 mm,
    200 mm and 250 mm. Centre to centre tyre spacing is 270 mm and distance between walls of tyres is 110
    mm.
    5 Determine ESWL for a dual tandem wheel load assembly, where each wheel is 60 kN with contact
    pressure of 0.6 MPa. Center to center distance between dual tandem axle is 1600 mm and center to center
    spacing of dual wheel is 800 mm. Determine ESWL at 350 mm and 700 mm depth.
    Unit – IV
    6 Explain with examples, how are the flexible pavement design methods classified.
    7 Explain the Mcleod method of highway pavement design.
    8 Write a equation recommended IRC:37-2001 for the computation of design traffic. Explain each term.
    How are the values obtained?
    9 Explain briefly CBR method by cumulative standard axle load for the design of flexible highway
    pavements.
    10 Design a highway pavement for a wheel load of 4100 kg with a tyre pressure of 5 kg/cm2 by Mcleod
    method. The plate bearing test carried out on subgrade soil using 30 cm diameter plate yielded pressure
    of 2.5 kg/cm2 after 10 repetitions of load at 0.5 cm deflection.
    11 Design the flexible pavement by Triaxial method using the following data:
    E – value of subgrade soil = 100 kg/cm2 E – value of base course = 400 kg/cm2
    2
    E – value of 8 cm thick bituminous surface = 1000 kg/cm Design wheel load = 6000 kg
    Radius of contact area = 15 cm Traffic coefficient = 1.5
    Rainfall coefficient = 0.6 Design deflection = 0.25 cm
    12 Design the pavement by Triaxial method using the following data:
    Wheel load = 51 kN Radius of contact area = 150 mm
    Traffic coefficient = 1.5 Rainfall coefficient = 0.9
    Design deflection = 2.5 mm E – value of subgrade soil = 10 N/mm2
    2
    E – value of base course material = 40 N/mm
    E – value of 75 mm thick bituminous concrete surface = 100 N/mm2
    13 Design the pavement thickness by California ‘R’ value method using the following data:
    i) Traffic index = 10.5
    ii) C – of base course = 15,
    iii) C – of 7.5 cm thick bituminous surface course = 65.

    following data:
    i) Pavement : 2 lane
    ii) Traffic volume : 700 CV/day
    iii) Road construction period : 3 years
    iv) Rate of growth of traffic : 8%
    v) Lane distribution factor : 0.75

    a) Modulus of subgrade reaction
    b) Relative stiffness of slab to subgrade
    c) Equivalent radius of resisting section
    d) Critical load positions
    16 Explain the factors affecting design of rigid pavements or CC pavements.
    17 Calculate the stresses at interior, edge and corner regions of a C.C pavement using Westergaard’s stress
    equations use the following data: wheel load = 5100 kg (51kN), E = 3 x 10 5 kg/cm2 (0.3x108 kN/m2),
    µ = 0.15, pavement thickness = 18 cm, modulus of subgrade reaction = 6 kg/cm 3 (6.0x104 kN/m3), radius
    of concrete area = 15 cm.
    18 Calculate the stresses at interior, edge and corner of CC pavement by Westergaard’s analysis.
    Radius of concrete area = 150 mm E – value of concrete = 0.32 x 105 N/mm2
    Wheel load = 60 kN µ = 0.15
    Thickness of pavement = 28cm = 280mm Modulus of subgrade reaction, K = 0.08 N/mm3
