    This document discusses the engineering design of a 2 lane, 2 way highway over a 24 year period. It estimates the construction will take 9 years and the average daily traffic will be 8,905 commercial vehicles. The required pavement thickness is calculated as 54cm based on a subgrade CBR of 5% and wheel load of 5,443kg. For the subgrade with a CBR of 10%, the required thickness is 35cm. It also examines the dowel bar design for load transfer between concrete slabs and calculates the spacing and length of plain reinforcing bars.

    HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

    2 Lane & 2 Way Highway Construction

    Estimated period of construction = 3+6= 9 years

    (CVPD) ADT of commercial vehicles = 5500nos

    VDF from chart

    Design life(n)= 15+9=24years

    Traffic growth rate ()= (5-6)%

    Lane distribution factor from code CBR of soil below 500 mm subgrade =5%

    CBR of the 500mm of the subgrade from borrow pits = 10%

    Ans

    From IRC 37:2012 ,We have VDF for 5500 no of vehicles/day=4.5 for (Rolling /plain terrain)

    Let us assume the traffic frowth rate = 5.5%

    As per IRC37:2012 the distribution factor for 2 lane 2 way roads(D) = 75%

    =>Computation of design traffic :-

    365[(1+)n 1
    N= A D VDF

    Where N = The cumulative number of standard axles to be catered for in the design in terms of msa

    A = Initial traffic in the year of completion of construction in terms on the no.of commercialvehicles/day.

    = (1 + )

    = 5500(1+0.055)9

    = 8905 no./day

    So the initial traffic = 8905


    365[(1+0.055)24 1]
    N= 8905 0.75 4.5
    0.055

    = 5.21 *108 msa


    California Bearing Ratio Test(CBR):-

    t=

    t= Thickness of Pavement ,cm

    P=Wheel load

    A= Area of contact


    = 2 =

    Standard load , 2.5cm = 1370kg

    5cm = 2055kg


    For 5% below 500mm of subgrade We contact pressure P=

    For heavy traffic where load = 5443kg

    From chart,for CBR=5%

    Minm thickness will be= 45cm

    Pavement thickness(T)=54cm

    Thickness of sub grade course ,

    (tsb)=T-Tsb

    Tb=Tsb-ts
    For heavy traffic ,wheel load =5443kg
    From the chart for CBR=10%

    The depth of construction /pavement thickness(T) 35cm

    (a) Thickness = (8+3+6) = 17 cm

    Radius of relative stiffness = 90cm

    Design wheel load = 4000 kg

    Load capacity of dowel system = 40%

    Joint width ,Z = 3cm

    Permissible stress = 1000 kg/cm3

    Bending stress = 1500 kg /cm3

    Bearing stress ,fb = 100 kg/cm3

    (b) Thickness = (12+9)=21 cm

    Width of road = 7 cm

    Unit weight of conc. () = 2400 kg/cm2

    Co-efficient of friction = 1.5

    Allowable working tensile stress in steel = 1750kg/cm2

    Bond stress of deformed bars = 24.6 kg/cm2

    Answer of (a) Permissible bearing stress in Conc. Is calculated as under :-

    (10.16)
    Fb = [ fck =400kg/cm2]
    9.525

    (10.163.2)400
    Fb = = or,b= 7.78
    9.525

    Assuming ,spacing b/w the dowel bars = 30cm

    First dowel bars is placed at a distance = 15cm( from the pavement edge)

    Length of bar = 50cm

    Perimeter of tie bar ,(P) = d = 1.6 = 5.03cm

    Spacing of tie bars = (A/As) = 3.024 100 = 66

    Assume 70

    2 217502
    Length of bars, L= = = 56.57
    24.65.03

    As per IRC 58:2002,including length 10cm for loss of bond due to painting and another 5 cm for
    tolerance in placement

    L = (56.57 + 10 + 5) = 71.57cm

    Say = 72cm
