Question: The following axle load survey data ( Table 1 ) was obtained from Warangal Highway ( NH - 1 6 3 ) , connecting Hyderabad

The following axle load survey data (Table 1) was obtained from Warangal Highway (NH-163), connecting Hyderabad to Bhopalpatnam. Determine the Vehicle damage factor (VDF) for a standard axle load of 80kN. Further, it is proposed to widen and strengthen the existing 2 lanes of the National highway. The traffic in one direction is 2500 CVPD. The construction period is 02 years. The design CBR of the subgrade is 5%, and the traftic growth rate is assumed to be 8% for commercial vehicles. The design lifeis 10 years. Estimate the cumulative standard axles in misa and design the flexible pavement. Show with neat sketches the indicative split of various pavement layers thicknesses.
