Pavement Design:

New pavement design is to be constructed in 2026. The new average daily traffic for commercial vehicles on the opening day will be 1700. Use:

Growth rate = 6%

Subgrade CBR = 3%

Design life = 20 years

Expert Solution

As per the Volume and growth rate need to caluclate MSA

Damge factor as per the IRC code was consider 4.5 because traffic 1700

Lane distrubution factor was consider 0.75

A new highway is to be constructed. Design A calls for a concrete pavement costing$90 per foot with a 20-year life;four paved ditches costing $5 per foot each; and four box culverts every mile, each costing $9,000 and having a 20-year life. Annual maintenance will cost $1,700 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned every five years at a cost of$350 each per mile. Design B calls for a bituminous pavement costing $45 per foot with a 10-year life;four sodded ditches...

For design, the daily car, pickup truck, and light van traffic is 20,000; and the daily truck traffic consists of 200 passes of single-unit trucks with single and tandem axles, and 410 passes of tractor semi-trailer trucks with single, tandem, and triple axles. The axle weights are :cars, pickups, light vans = two 2000-lb single axles;single-unit trucks = 10,000-lb steering, single axle= 22,000-lb drive, tandem axle and: tractor semi-trailer trucks = 12,000-lb steering, single axle,= 18,000-lb drive, tandem axle,= 50,000-lb...

Using the AASHTO 1993 Flexible Pavement Design Procedure, design a pavement cross section that will provide 10 years service. The initial PSI is 4.2 and the final PSI is determined to be 2.5. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 18,000 psi. Reliability is 95% with an overall standard deviation of 0.4. For design, the daily truck traffic consists of 400 passes of trucks with two single axles and 350 passes of semitrailer truck with tandem axles. The axle...

A new highway is to be constructed with two alternative designs. Design A calls for a concrete pavement costing $90 per foot with a 20-year life; two paved ditches costing $3 per foot each; and three box culverts every mile, each costing $9,000 and having a 20-year life. Annual maintenance will cost $1,800 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned every five years at a cost of $450 each per mile. Design B calls for a bituminous pavement costing $45...

Pavement performance is an important factor in pavement design because it provides a framework upon which a judgement on the road is either success or failure, which is associated with the ability of the pavement to carry out the design loading. Based on these statements, briefly discuss a distinction between the two different types of failures.

Consider the design of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a community with average daily and peak hourly wastewater design flows of 7570 m3/day and 18925 m3/day. The raw sewage has an average of 240 mg/L BOD5 and 270 mg/L of suspended solids. (a) Assume that the primary sedimentation process removes 55% of the suspended solids and 35% of the BOD5 of the raw sewage. Determine the SS and BOD5 concentrations in the primary sedimentation effluent flow. (1 mark) The...
