    The document discusses flexible pavement design according to the AASHTO method. It describes that flexible pavements consist of an asphalt surface course over granular base and subbase layers above a subgrade soil. The AASHTO design procedure involves 6 steps, including determining traffic loads in terms of ESALs, subgrade properties, thickness design. Traffic loads from different vehicle axles are converted to an equivalent number of 80kN standard axle loads. Design factors like design life, reliability, serviceability are also considered in the calculation of pavement thickness.

    Flexible Pavements Design (Asphalt Pavement)

    flexible pavements in general consist of an asphalt-bound surface course or layer on top of unbound base and subbase granular layers over
    the subgrade soil. In some cases, the subbase and/or base layers may be absent, while in others the base and/or subbase layers may be stabilized
    using cementitious or bituminous admixtures. Drainage layers may also be provided to remove water quickly from the pavement structure.

    In the AASHTO design procedures are summarized in the following steps:


    1. Determine the ESALs for the life of the pavement.
    2. Determine the required reliability and overall standard deviation for the pavement.
    3. Determine the subgrade soil resilient modulus, MR.
    4. Determine the design serviceability loss, ΔPSI.
    5. Determine the effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (kc )
    6. Determine thickness of pavement (D)

    AASHTO PAVEMENT Discussion Calculation


    DESIGN 1993
    TRAFFIC

    The AASHTO pavement design method requires that


    Section 8.4 all traffic be converted into equivalent single-axle loads
    (ESALs). This is the number of 80kN single axles
    (with dual tires) on pavements of specified strength that
    would produce the same amount of traffic damage over
    the design life of the pavement.

    Traffic loads applied on the pavement surface range from light


    passenger cars to heavy trucks. Heavy
    traffic loads have more harmful effect to pavement than light
    loads. Also, as the number of repetitions of
    the same load increases the effect on the pavement increases. To
    design a pavement section the damage
    caused by all axle loads that will be applied on the pavement
    during its designed life has to be considered.
    According to the AASHTO (1993) design method axles with
    different magnitudes and different
    numbers of repetitions are converted to an equivalent number of
    repetitions of a standard axle load that
    causes the same damage to the pavement. A standard axle load
    was selected as 80 kN applied
    on a single axle with a dual wheel at each end. The ESAL is the
    equivalent number of repetitions of the
    18-kip (80 kN) standard axle load that causes the same damage
    to the pavement caused by one-pass of
    the axle load in question
    We have

    ESAL during the designed life in the design lane is then determined as discussed earlier.

    deviation value So is selected by the designer within this range.
