The different pavement materials available near the construction site are as follows.

(i)

Sandy soil with CBR value

l0o/o

(ii) Soil-kankar mix with CBR value:25oh

(iii) Broken

stone and gravel with CBR -- 90%

(iv) Bituminous concrete for surfacing: min. 5 cm thick

Design the pavement structure lbr commercial vehicles of 2000 per day, with 8% growth rate.

6 a) Design the size and spacing of dowel bars at the Expansion joint of a CC pavement o1'
thickness 25 cm with radius of relative stiffness 80 cm, for a design wheel load of 500 kg.
Assume load capacity of the dowel systems as 40o/o of design wheel load. Joint width is 2.0
cr1l. Pemrissible shear, Flexural & bearing stresses in dowel bar are 1000 Kg/cmz. l4O0
Kg/cm2 and 100 Kgicm2 respectively. Assume the dia of bar as 2.5 cm.

(10M)

b) Write a note on Webster's methods of signai designing.

(sM)

Design the CC pavement thickness, expansion and contraction joint spacing. dowel and tie bars
for a wheel load of 5100kg. Present traffic intensity is 1050 cvpd. Maximum variation in
temperature between summer and winter is 35'C. Temperature differential values in the region

for slab thicknesses 15,20 and25 cm are 14.6.15.8 andl6.3'C respectively. Assume any other
data as per IRC recommendations.
