PROBLEM- Design the pavement for construction of a new flexible

pavement with the following data:

DATA (i) Four lane divided carriageway
(ii) Initial traffic in the year of completion of construction = 5000 CV/day
(Sum of both directions)
(iii) Traffic growth rate per annum = 6.0 per cent
(iv) Design life = 20 years
(v) Vehicle damage factor = 5.2 (Based on axle load survey)
(vi) CBR of soil below the 500 mm of the subgrade = 3 per cent
(vii) CBR of the 500 mm of the subgrade from borrow pits = 10 per cent
Using IRC 37
PROBLEM:
Design the pavement for construction of a new bypass with the
following data:
1. Two lane carriage way
2. Initial traffic in the year of completion of construction = 1000CVPD
(sum of both directions)
3. Traffic growth rate = 7.5 %
4. Design life = 15 years
5. Vehicle damage factor based on axle load survey = 2.5 standard axle
per commercial vehicle
6. Design CBR of subgrade soil = 4%.
