Topic 10 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design 2. General Design Variables Design Period Traffic what changes? (EALF Table 6.7) Reliability Performance criteria
Topic 10 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design 3.1.1 Pavement Without Subbase If there is no Subbase, AASHTO suggests:
k=
MR 18.8
Correlation based on 30-in plate-load tests k value becomes too high because k=fnc(1/a) More accurate k if plate test was run w/ bigger plates; too expensive & impractical
3. Material Properties 3.1 Effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (k) Need to convert subgrade MR to k: 1. Without Subbase 2. With Subbase 3. Shallow bedrock
SUBGRADE BEDROCK
If subbase exists, need to determine the composite modulus of subgrade reaction (k)
Topic 10 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design 3.1.2 Pavement With Subbase (cont.)
Example:
Topic 10 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design 3.1.3 Rigid Foundation @ Shallow Depth
If bedrock is within 10ft, it will confine the material (subgrade) and will produce a higher k. Example:
Rigid depth=5 Subgrade MR=10,000 psi k = 600 pci
Figure 12.19
To get k:
Cut across the ESB Cut across MR to the TL Vertically meet other line Read k-value
k=600pci
Figure 12.18
k = 800pci
Topic 10 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design 3.1.4 Effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction Keff Equivalent modulus that would result in the same damage if seasonal variations were taken into account (similar to flexible design)
