A = P (1+ r)x
Where, A = Initial traffic in the year of completion of construction in terms
Of Number of commercial vehicle per day.
P = Number of commercial vehicle as per last count = 119 CVD
r = Annual growth rate of commercial vehicle (for 7.5% annual
growth rate = 0.075
x = Number of year between the last count and the year of
completion of Construction = 1 year.
A = 119x (1 + 0.075)1
= 127.925 say 128 CVD.
(ii) The design traffic is considered in term of the cumulative number of
standard Axles (in the lane carrying maximum traffic) to be carried
during the design Life of the road. This can be computed using the
following equation:-
CONCLUSION: - The total crust thickness required for a new road project is
375.00mm.
(D) COMPUTATION OF PAVEMENT COMPOSITIONS:- Refer as per
the design catalogue plate I, IRC:37-2001, recommended and interpolated
for :-
(i) Design traffic range 1 msa.
(ii) C.B.R. = 7.0 %
(iii) Total pavement thickness = 375.00mm.
(iv) Average annual pavement temperature = 35 degree C.
CONCLUSION OF PAVEMENT COMPOSITION FOR WIDEN PORTION:-
(i) Thickness of wearing course = 20mm.
(ii) Thickness of WBM = 225.00mm.
(iii) Thickness of granular sub-base = 150.00mm.
TOTAL THICKNESS REQUIRED = 375.00mm
As per the IRC: 37-2001, para NO. 4.2.2.2, the recommended minimum thickness
Of granular base is 225mm for traffic up to 2msa and 250mm for traffic exceeding
2msa.
Therefore provide pavement compositions for widen portion of road as follows:-
(a) Bituminous surfacing = 20mm thick O.G.P.C.
(b) W.B.M. GR. NO.III = 75mm thick.
(c) W.B.M. GR. NO. II = 75mm thick
(d) W.B.M. GR. NO. II = 100mm thick
(e) Granular sub-base = 150mm thick.
TOTAL THICKNESS PROVIDED = 400mm
