Solution

The parameter used to evaluate the strength of subgrade in flexible pavement is c. CBR % (California Bearing Ratio). This is a penetration test for evaluation of the mechanical strength of road subgrades and base courses. It is developed by the California Department of Transportation.

What is the formula for Olders Theory in Rigid Pavements

An interstate highway pavement composed of an HMA surface course, a cement treated base course and a sand-gravel subbase is to be designed for an ESAL of 2 * 10^6 . The quality of drainage is considered poor with more than 30 % of time the pavement will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation. The material properties are summarized below: effective roadbed resilient modulus = 5500 psi, resilient modulus of subbase = 15000 psi, resilient modulus of cement-treated base is 60,000 psi and resilient modulus of HMA = 4.0 * 10^5 psi. Determine the thicknesses of the surface, base and subbase courses required by assuming a minimum thickness for HMA.
