If you design a three-layer asphalt pavement using the AASHTO method, what are
the appropriate thicknesses of each layer (asphalt (D1) base (D2) and subbase (D3))
that meet the following design conditions?
Design conditions
Design Period =20 years
Expected ESALs =18.6106
Reliability =95%
So =0.35
PSI=2.1
Subgrade Modulus =5700 psi
Subbase Modulus =11000 psi
Subbase Coefficient (a3)=0.08
Subbase Drainage Coefficient (m3)=1.2
Granular Base Modulus =30000 psi
Granular Base Coefficient (a2)=0.14
Granular Base Drainage Coefficient (m2)=1.2
AC layer Modulus =400000 psi
AC layer coefficient (a1)=0.4.
D1=5in;D2=6.6in; and D3=7in
D1=6.6in;D2=5.9in; and D3=5.0in
D1=8in;D2=7in; and D3=12 in
D1=7in;D2=8in; and D3=10 in
