Lect#2 Design Factors

The document discusses factors for designing pavements including traffic load, subgrade soil properties, climate, and pavement materials. It also discusses how traffic loads cause pavement deterioration over time and the importance of quantifying truck traffic loads. The document further discusses desirable subgrade soil properties and how subgrade performance is affected by factors like moisture content.

Design Factors

Prof. Mustafa Aytekin


Factors for design of pavements
 Design wheel load (Traffic)
Ø Static load on wheels
Ø Contact Pressure
Ø Load Repetition – (Cyclic Loading)

 Subgrade soil (Material)


Ø Thickness of pavement required
Ø Stress- strain behavior under load
Ø Moisture variation
 Climatic factors (Climate)
 Pavement component materials
Pavement deterioration is caused by the
interacting damaging effects of traffic
and the environment. Traffic loads,
primarily those from heavy trucks, cause
stresses/strains in pavement structures,
whose effects accumulate over time,
resulting in pavement deterioration,
such as plastic deformation in asphalt
concretes or fatigue cracking in Portland
concretes.
Hence, truck traffic load data is an essential input to the
pavement analysis and design process. Truck traffic loads and
their impact on pavements are quantified in terms of:
❑ Number of truck axles
❑ Configuration of these axles
❑ Their load magnitude
Desirable Properties of Soil as Subgrade
Material

 Stability
 Incompressibility
 Permanency of strength
 Minimum changes in volume and stability under adverse
condition of weather and ground water
 Good drainage
 Ease of compaction
Subgrade Performance
 Load bearing capacity:
Affected by degree of compaction, moisture content, and
soil type.

 Moisture content:
Affects subgrade properties like load bearing capacity,
shrinkage and swelling.
Influenced by drainage, groundwater table elevation,
infiltration, or pavement porosity (which can be assisted by
cracks in the pavement).

 Shrinkage and/or swelling:


Shrinkage, swelling and frost heave will tend to deform and
crack any pavement type constructed over them.
Function and Significance of Subgrade Properties

• Basement soil of roadbed.


• Important for structural and
pavement life.
• Should not deflect excessively
due to dynamic loading.
