    The document describes the procedure for designing flexible pavement thickness using the AASHTO method from 1993. It involves 7 steps: 1) Determine traffic, 2) Determine reliability value, 3) Determine overall standard deviation, 4) Determine resilient modulus, 5) Determine design serviceability loss, 6) Determine structural number, 7) Calculate layer thicknesses based on structural number. Equations are provided to calculate structural number and layer thicknesses based on traffic, reliability, materials properties, and desired performance. An example application is included to demonstrate designing the thicknesses for asphalt, granular base, and granular subbase layers.

    PAVEMENT DESIGN THICKNESS USING ASSTHO METHOD 1993

    Design Procedure Flexible Pavement


    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Determine Traffic Plan ( W18 ) Determine Reliability Value ( % ) Overall Standard Deviation ( S0 ) Resilient Modulus ( Mr ) Design Serviceability loss ( PSI = IPo IPt ) Determine Structural Number ( SN ) Calculate the Thickness for each layer based SN

    EQUATION

    1. TRAFFIC

    2. RELIABILITY
    Reliability is the probability that any particular type of stress ( or combination of distress manifestations) will remain below or within the permissible level during the life design.

    Relation Between Reliability and Cost

    3. Determine Standart Normal Deviate

    But the range So Values provided in Part II in AASHTO Guide are based on the values identified bellow : 0,30 0,40 for Rigid Pavement 0,40 0,50 for Flexible Pavement

    4. Determine Resilient Modulus ( MR )

    5. Design Serviceability Loss( PSI )

    Present Serviceability Index ( P0 )


    The Serviceability of a pavement is defined as its ability to serve the type of traffic ( automobiles and trucks ) which use facility the primary measure of serviceability is the Present Serviceability Index (Po). It ranges from 0 ( impossible road ) to 5 ( Perfect Road ) Since some considerations must also be given to the selection of Po ( it should be recognized that Po values observed at the AASHO Road test were 4,2 for Flexible Pavement and 4,5 for Rigid Pavement.

    Terminal Serviceability Index ( Pt )


    Terminal Serviceability Index ( Pt ) is based on the lowest index that will be tolerated before rehabilitation , resurfacing, or reconstruction becomes necessary . 2,5 or higher is suggested for major highway design. 2,0 for highways with lesser traffic volumes. For relatively minor highways where economic dictate that initial capital outlay be kept at a minimum, it is suggested that this is accomplished by reducing the design period of the total traffic volume, rather than by designing for a terminal serviceability less than 2,0.

    Design Serviceability Loss PSI = Po - Pt

    6. Structural Number
    To Determine Structural Number can use equation or from graph based on ASSTHOs Method.
    Equation to Determine SN

    Designing Layer Thickness

    Layer Coefficients a1

    Layer Coefficients a2
    a2 = 0,249(log10EBS)-0,977 With EBS is a function of net only moisture but also for the stress state (). Values for stress state within the base course vary with the subgrade modulus and thickness of the surface layer .

    Layer Coefficients a3
    a3 = 0,227(log10ESB)-0,839

    EXAMPLE

    NEW ROAD DESIGN EXAMPLE


    Planning Principal Arterial road and road life are 13 years. Distribution factor is 50 % . That road planned support present traffic 2,5 105 and growth factor is 4% . One direction of road has 2 line. The other parameters can follow : Resilient Modulus ( Mr ) = 5.700 psi Asphalt Concrete ( EAC ) = 400.000 psi Granular Base ( EBS ) = 30.000 psi Granular Subbase ( ESB ) = 11.000 psi Drainage Coefficient for Base m2 = 1,2 Drainage Coefficient for Subbase m3 = 1,2 Determined the thickness each Pavement Layer ?

    SOLUTION

    W(18) = DD . DL . W18 DD = 50% = 0,5 DL = 90 % ( one direction has 2 line . ) W18 = 2.500.000 So Present ESAL W18 = 0,5 x 0,9 x 2.500.000 = 1.125.000

    ESAL Road Life ( 13 years ) W18 = W18 x Growth Factor Growth Factor = 16,63 ( see Table bellow ) W18 = 1.125.000 x 16,63 = 18.337.500

    Layer Coefficients a
    Asphalt Concrete a1 Granular Base a2 Granular Subbase a3 = 0,42 ( see figure on bellow ) = 0,14 ( see figure on bellow ) = 0,083 ( see figure on bellow )
