    Design of Pavements

    Uploaded by

    Darlon Catibayan
    This document discusses two main types of pavements: flexible and rigid. Flexible pavements are made of asphalt and aggregates in multiple layers. The design considers load distribution through the layers. Rigid pavements are made of concrete and transmit loads over a wide area, requiring minimal supporting layers. The document provides examples of design problems for calculating pavement and base thickness for flexible pavements and concrete slab thickness for rigid pavements based on load and material properties.

    PAVEMENTS
    Two General Types of Pavements
    • Flexible Pavements
    • Rigid Pavement
    Flexible Pavement

    -A flexible pavement is considered with asphaltic cement and


    aggregates. It is usually consists of several layers. The lower layer
    is called subgrade.
    -The design of flexible pavement is based on load distributing
    characteristic of the component layers. The black top pavement
    including water & gravel bound macadam fall in this category.
    -As such the flexible pavement may be constructed in a number of
    layers and the top layer has to be strongest as the highest
    compressive stresses.

    Sample Problem: A flexible pavement carries a static wheel load of


    53.5 kN. The circular contact area of the tire is 85806 sq.mm and
    the transmitted load is distributed across a wide area of the
    subgrade at an angle of 45 degrees. The subgrade bearing value is
    0.14 Mpa, while that of the base is 0.41 Mpa. Design the thickness
    of pavement and that of the base.
    Solution:
    Flexible Pavement

    Sample Problem: A flexible pavement carries a static wheel load of


    50kN which caused a pressure of 2.8 MPa on a circular area above
    the pavement. Using cone pressure distribution method, determine
    the required thickness of the pavement if the allowable bearing
    stress on the base is 0.50MPa. Round – up the answer in 10-mm
    interval.
    Solution:
    Rigid Pavement
    -Rigid Pavements have high flexural rigidity and are able to transmit loads into a
    wide area. The pavement absorbs most of the tress thus, requiring minimum
    supporting layers.
    -Rigid pavements are much thicker compared to their flexible counterpart. Rigid
    pavements are good in areas with relatively weak soil or inadequate support, or
    areas exposed to heavy rainfall which can wear down flexible pavements.
    -In rigid pavement, dowel and tie bars are often provided to prevent lanes from
    separating and to allow transfer of loads from one slab to another.
    Rigid Pavement

    A rigid pavement is
    constructed with Portland
    cement concrete and
    aggregates as shown with
    flexible pavements, the
    subgrade (the lower
    pavement), the base layer
    is optional
    Rigid Pavement
    a. Without Dowels or tie bars
    The critical section is at the
    edge of a contraction joint it
    will crack approximately 45
    Degrees with the edge.
    Rigid Pavement
    a. With Dowels or tie bars
    Rigid Pavement

    Sample Problem:
    Determine the thickness of a rigid pavement of the
    proposed Nagtahan road to carry a maximum wheel load
    of 60 kN. Consider with and without dowels. fc’=20MPa.
    Allowables tensile stress of concrete pavement is 0.06 fc’
    Solution:
    Spacing of Longitudinal Bars

    Sample Problem:
    A concrete pavement 8m wide and 15 mm thick is to be provided
    with a center longitudinal joint using 12 mm dia. Bars. The weight of
    concrete is 2400 kg/m^3. Coefficient of friction of the slab on the
    subgrade is 2.0. Assuming an allowable working stress in tension for
    steel bars at 138 MPa, determine the spacing of the longitudinal
    bars in mm.
    Solution:
    Length of Longitudinal Bars

    Sample Problem:
    A 12 mm dia. Bars is used as the longitudinal bars of a concrete
    pavement. It is spaced at 600 mm on centers. The width of roadway
    is meters and the coefficient of friction of the slab on the subgrade
    is 2.0. Thickness of the slab is 150 mm. If the allowable bond stress
    is 0.83 MPa, determine the length of the longitudinal bars.
