    VIII Semester Examination, June 2014


    Pavement Design (Elective-II)
    Time: Three Hours
    Maximum Marks: 70
    Note: i) Attempt five questions, selecting one question from each unit.
    ii) All questions carry equal marks.
    iii) Assume suitable data if found missing.

    1. a) What do you understand by frost action? Discuss the


    effects and factors on which the intensity of frost action depends. Suggest measures to prevent
    or reduce the adverse effects.
    b) Define equivalent single wheel load. How is it calculated graphically?
    Or
    2. a) Explain how climatic variation affects pavement design
    and performance.
    b) How is effect of repetition of load analysed?
    3. a) What is Group Index? What is the basic on which
    thickness of pavement is determined based on group Index? What are the assumptions involved
    in the use of the design method based on G.I.?
    b) Given the following data from a typical North Dakota cone test on a subgrade soil, calculate
    the cone bearing value.
    Load (Kg) 4.5 9 19 36
    Penetration Reading (cm) 2.40 3.59 5.26 7.52
    Or

    4. a) Explain the CBR method of pavement design. How is this method useful to determine
    thickness of component layers?

    b) Calculate the equivalent C-value of a three layered pavement section having individual
    C-values as given below.
    Material Bituminous concrete Cement treated base Gravel sub-base

    5. a) Explain how the elastic modulii of subgrade and base course are estimated using plate
    bearing test data.
    b) Determine the spacing between contraction joints for 3.5 m slab width having thickness of
    20 cm and f = 1.5 for the following two cases:
    i) For plain cement concrete, allowable Sc = 0.8 Kg/cm2.
    ii) For reinforcement cement concrete, 1.0 cm dia bars at 0.30m spacing.
    Or
    6. a) How temperature stresses are found in rigid pavement?

    b) Calculate the stresses at interior, edge and comer regions of a cement concrete pavement
    using westergaard's stress equations. Use the following data:
    Wheel load = 5100 Kg, Modulus of elasticity of concrete = 3.0x105 kg/cm2.
    Pavement thickness = 18 cm, Poisson's ratio of concrete = 0.15
    Modulus of subgrade reaction = 6.0 kg/cm3. Radius of contact area = 15 cm.

    7. a) Explain with sketches the functioning of sealer. Discuss the desirable properties of
    effective sealing compounds.

    b) Briefly outline the IRC recommendations for determining the thickness of cement concrete
    pavement.
    Or
    8. a) What is present serviceability index? How rigid pavement is designed by AASHTO
    method? Explain step by step.

    b) Explain the concept of reliability of cement concrete pavement giving a neat sketch. Discuss
    the importance of the reliability analysis.

    9. a) Discuss how overlays are designed for the existing flexible pavements.
    b) Explain the analysis of data, obtained by Benkelman beam.
    Or
    10. a) How rebound deflection is determined by Benkelman beam? Discuss.
    b) How is rigid over lay designed?
