Pavement design shall be carried out in accordance with the provision of relevant manual and type
of pavement the composition of flexible pavement is designed as per guidelines of IRC SP: 72 &
IRC SP: 89 with IIT PAVE calculations, considering CBR of sub-grade as 10%. The pavement is
designed for traffic 150 MSA.

IIT-Pave Check:
Actual Strains from IITPAVE
Allowable strains for fatigue and rutting (134 µε and 291 µε) are greater than the actual strains
obtained from IITPAVE software for fatigue and rutting (41.4 µε (compression) and 160.6 µε).
Also, the allowable fatigue stain for the CTB layer (64 µε) is greater than the obtained strain (61.5
µε). Hence, it is concluded that the given section is safe from fatigue and rutting. Overall assumed
pavement section is safe for 150 MSA.

Conclusion:
The use of CTB/CTSB saves the material required for the construction of flexible pavement. The
transportation charge, fuel consumption, machineries required is less for CTB/CTSB method than
the traditional method, Hence the initial cost of construction is less for CTB/CTSB method. The
CTB/CTSB is having more strength as compare to the traditional material. So, the maintenance
work required for CTB/CTSB will be less. It will save the maintenance cost and affects the life
cycle cost of the project.
5) Transportation/haulage is reduced.
8) Aggregate consumption is less for the case of stabilized base compared to that of the
conventional method.
