on)(38 Pts) A six-lane divided road is to be designed to accommodate the following traffic conditions:
AADT for the first year =10,000 vpd; Traffic growth rate of 4% annually
Design period =15 years; Desired Reliability 95%; TSI =2.5
Ground soil has a CBR of 10
Three materials to be used with the following properties:
HMA: E=300,000 psi; Gm=2=2.37, cost =60JD? Ton; compaction cost =4JDm2
Basc-Coarse: E=25,500 psi; Compaction Factor=0.85; Cost-10 JD/m^2; compaction cost-2 JD/m
Sub-Base: E=12,000 psi, Compaction Factor =0.80; Cost =6JDm3; compaction cost =2JDm2
Aggregate Base and Sub-base are sarumated 5% of the time with a fair drainage system.
Traffic distribution: 80% passenger cars, 20% semi-trailers with load distribution shown below:
Using the AASHTO method, and being conservative, find the following:
a)(6 Pts) The Directional Design Truck Traffic volume (DDTTV) for the design life is 10250000 Truck
b)(10 Pts) Assuming that the answer from (a) is 5 million Trucks, the ESAL for this road for the purpose of structur: design is: 221673231
