y The basic idea in building a pavement for all-weather

use by vehicles is to prepare a suitable sub grade,
provide necessary drainage and construct a
pavement that will:
{ Have sufficient total thickness and internal strength to carry
expected traffic loads, and distribute them over the sub grade
soil without overstressing.
overstressing
{ Have adequate properties to prevent or minimize the
penetration or internal accumulation of moisture, and
{ Have a surface that is reasonably smooth and skid resistant at
the same time, as well as reasonably resistant to wear,
distortion and deterioration by vehicle loads and weather.

y Pavements are g
generallyy classified into two
categories,
{ Flexible pavements
{ Rigid
i id pavements.
y The basis for classification is the way by which traffic
loads are transmitted to the subgrade soil through
the pavement structure.
Flexible Pavements

transmitted to the sub grade soil through the lateral
distribution of stresses with increasing depth.
y The pavement thickness is designed such that
stresses on the subgrade soil are kept within its
bearing capacity and the sub grade is prevented from
excessive deformation.
y Its structural strength and smoothness depends to a
large extent on the deformation of the subgrade soil.

y Disadvantages to Flexible Pavement

{ Not normally chosen where water is expected
Flexible Pavements
23
y Generally,
y, two types
yp of construction have been used
for flexible pavements,
{ conventional flexible pavement and
{ f ll d h asphalt
full-depth h l pavement.
Conventional Flexible Pavements
24
y Conventional flexible p
pavements are multilayered
y
structures with
{ better materials on top where the intensity of stress is high and
{ i f i materials
inferior i l at the
h bottom
b where
h the
h intensity
i i iis llow.
y This design principle makes possible to use local
materials and usually results in a most economical
design.
25
y A conventional pavement
normally consists of seal
coat, surface course, tack
coat, prime coat, base
course, sub base course,
compacted subgrade, and
natural subgrade.
subgrade
y The use of various courses is
based on either necessityy or
economy and some of the
courses may be omitted.
26
y Surface course: -
{ The surface course is the top course of an asphalt pavement,
{ sometimes called wearing course.
{ It
I iis usually
ll constructeddbby d
dense graded
d dhhot asphalt
h l mix.
i
{ It is a structural part of the pavement,
Ù which must be tough
g to resist distortion under traffic and
Ù provide a smooth and skid-resistant riding surface.
{ The surface must be waterproof

Ù tto protect
t t th
the entire
ti pavementt and
d
Ù subgrade from the weakening effect of water.
27
y Base course: -
{ The base course is the layer of material immediately beneath
the surface course.
{ It may be composed of well-graded
well graded crushed stone
(unbounded), granular mixed with binder, or stabilized
materials.
{ It is the main structural part of the pavement and provides a
level surface for laying the surface layer.
{ If constructed over the sub g grade,, it prevents
p intrusions if the
fine subgrade soils into the pavement structure.
28
y Sub base course: -

{ It is the layer of material beneath the base course constructed
using local and cheaper materials for economic reason on top
of the subgrade.
subgrade
{ It provides additional help to the base and the upper in
distributing the load.
{ It facilitates drainage of free water that might get accumulated
below the pavement.
{ If the base course is open
p g graded,, the sub base course with
more fines can serve as a filter between the sub grade and the
base course.
29
y Sub g grade: -
{ It is the foundation on which the vehicle load and the weight of
the pavement layers finally rest.
{ It is an in situ or a layer of selected material compacted to the
properly drained desirable and compacted to receive the
pavement layers.
Full- depth asphalt pavements
30
y are constructed by
ypplacing
g one or more layers
y of hot-
mix asphalt directly on the sub grade or improved
sub grade.
y This concept was conceived by the asphalt institute
and is generally considered the most cost-effective
and dependable type of asphalt pavement
{ for heavy traffic and
{ quite popular
q p p in area where local materials are not available
Rigid Pavements
31
y Are constructed of cement concrete slabs

y A rigid pavement, by virtue of its rigidity, can be able to
effect a slab action to spread the wheel load over the
entire slab area.
y The structural capacity of the rigid pavement is largely
provided by the slab itself.
y For
F theh common range off subgrade
b d soil il strength,
h the

required rigidity for a Portland cement concrete slab can
be achieved without much variation in slab thickness.
y The effect of subgrade soil properties on the thickness of
rigid pavement is less important than that of flexible pvt.

y The flexural strength

permits the slab to bridge

over minor irregularities under it.
y Thus, the performance of rigid pavements is more
governed by the strength of the concrete slab that the

y The subgrade may provide a uniform support for the slab.

y However where the sub grade soil cannot provide a uniform
support, there is always a necessity to build a base or
subbase course under cement concrete slab.

{ Pumping

b d
soil through joints, cracks, and along the edges of the
pavements.
{ Pumping occurs when there is void space under the slab
due to temperature curling of the slab, deformation of the
subgrade or both and erodible material under the slab is
saturated.
{ It leads to faulting and cracking of the slab if not
corrected in time.

38
y Control off frost

f action: -
{ Heave caused by increase in volume of freezed water and
the formation and continuing expansion of ice lenses
causes the concrete slab to break and soften the subgrade
during frost melting period.
{ This occurs when the soil within the depthp of frost
penetration is frost susceptible (e.g. clay), there is a
supply of moisture and the temperature freezes for a
sufficient period of time.

y Control of shrinkage and swell: -

{ When the change in moisture causes subgrade to shrink or
swell, the base course can serve as a surcharge load to reduce
the amount of shrinkage and swell in addition to its use of
improving drainage.
{ Measures that are taken to reduce entering water in to the
subgrade further reduce the shrinkage and swell potentials.
y As working platform for construction: -
{ A base course can be used as a working platform for heavy
construction equipment.

{ Under severe weather conditions a base course can keep the
surface clean and dry and facilitate the construction work.
Types of concrete pavement
41
y Concrete p
pavements can be classified in to four
types:
{ Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP),
{ Jointed
i d Reinforced
i f d Concrete Pavement ((JRCP),
)
{ Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP), and
{ Pre-stressed
Pre stressed Concrete Pavement (PCP).
Rigid pavements
42
43
y In Jointed Unreinforced Concrete Pavements

(JUCP),
{ the pavement consists in an unreinforced concrete slab cast in
place continuously and divided into bays of predetermined
dimensions by the construction of joints.
{ The bays dimensions are made sufficiently short so as to
ensure that they do not crack.
{ The bays are linked together by tie bars, which is to prevent
horizontal movement and thus ensure load transfer through g
aggregate interlock.

45
y In Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavements (JRCP) ( )

{ the pavement consists generally in a cast in place concrete slab
divided in reinforced concrete bays separated by joints.
{ The reinforcement is made to prevent developing cracks from
opening.
{ The bays are linked together by tie bars to prevent horizontal
movement and thus ensure load transfer through aggregate
interlock.
{ The amount of distributed steel increases with the increase in
joint spacing and is designed to hold the slab together after

Composite pavements

y Composite pavements are pavements composed of

cement concrete as a bottom
b llayer and
dhhot-mix
i asphalt
h l as
a top layer to obtain an ideal pavement with the most
desirable characteristics.
y The cement concrete slab provides a strong base and the
hot-mix asphalt provides a smooth and non-reflective
surface.

y However, this type of pavement is very expensive and is
rarely used as a new construction.
y Composite pavements include rehabilitated concrete
pavements using asphalt overlays and asphalt pavements
with stabilized bases.
Composite pavements
50
y For flexible p pavements with untreated bases,,

{ the most critical tensile stress or strain is at the bottom of
asphalt layer,
{ while for composite pavements the most critical location is at
the bottom of the cement concrete slab or stabilized bases.
y A disadvantage
g of this construction is the occurrence
of reflection cracks on the asphalt surface due to the
joints and cracks in the rigid base layer.

Highway and Airport Pavement
52
y Airport
p p
pavements are g
generallyy thicker than
highway pavements and require better surfacing
materials due to:
{ The
h gross-weight h off an airplane
l is usually
ll greater than
h that
h off a
heavy truck, but the number of load repetitions on airport
pavements is usually smaller than that on highway pavements.
{ The arrangement and spacing of wheel loads on airport and
highway pavements are different.
{ A typical tyre pressure on highway pavements is much lesser
than that of airport pavements
Highway and Airport Pavement
53
{ Vehicle loads are applied near to the edge of highway

pavements but far away from the outside edge of airport
pavements.
{ Unlike highway pavements,
pavements airfield pavements are
subjected to an impact loading.
{ The design load of airport pavements is the wheel load of
the largest aircraft during takeoff time due to heavy fuel
weight. Although wheel loads can be used as design
loads number of repetitions of standard axles is the

Basic Design Factors

g factors can be divided into four broad
categories:
{ traffic loading,

{ materials and
{ failure criteria.
Traffic loading
55
y The loading
g applied
pp byy traffic is one of the major
j
factors affecting the design and performance of
pavements.
y The most important aspects of traffic loading that
are considered in the analysis and design of
pavements are:
{ The configuration,
{ magnitude
g and
{ repetitions of axle loads
Traffic loading
56
y The principal function of pavement structure is to protect

the sub grade from the loading imposed by traffic.

limits.
it
y Traffic surveys and loadometer studies are often used to
establish the relative magnitude and occurrence of
various loadings to which a pavement is subjected.
y Prediction or estimation of the total traffic that will use a
pavement during its design life is a very difficult but
obviously important task.

and many wheels are necessary are necessary to obtain a
reasonablyy low individual wheel load.
Type pressure
59
y Mostly,
y, it is onlyy the commercial vehicle that is
important in structural pavement design and a
typical tyre pressure would be 0.5 MN/m2.
y Aircraft tyres use pressures up to nearly 3.0 MN/m2
which can cause serious problem in the design of the
materials employed in the upper layers of the
pavement.

y Based on the finite element analysis of rigid
pavements, a rectangular contact area is also
assumed with a length of 0.8712L
0 8712L and a width of
0.6L, which has the same area of 0.5227L2.
Number of repetitions
61
y A succession of loads has a cumulative effect on the

behavior of pavements.
y It is therefore necessary to design the pavement for a
specified number of years and to estimate the total
number and magnitude of loads that will be applied
during the periods specified.
specified
y A widely accepted procedure of considering traffic
load is the use of equivalent factor and converts each
load into an equivalent 80KN single axle load.
Speed of traffic loading
62
y Studies showed that the stresses and deflections tend to

decrease as the
d h vehicle
hi l speedd iincreases.
y Speed is directly used as the duration of loading on
pavements.
y Generally, the greater the speed is, the larger the
modulus and the smaller the strains in the pavement.
