  1. DESIGN FLEXIBLE AND RIGID PAVEMENTS Ms Ikmalzatul Abdullah

  2. FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT RIGID PAVEMENT

  3. Types of Pavements

  4. Wheel Load Distribution

  5. Flexible Rigid

  6. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP)

  7. Function and Significance of Subgrade Properties • Basement soil of road bed. • Important for structural and pavement life. • Should not deflect excessively due to dynamic loading. • May be in fill or embankment.

  8. Cut and Fill Sections

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. Subgrade Soil Strength Assessed in terms of CBR of subgrade soil for most critical moisture conditions. • Soil type • Moisture Content • Dry Density • Internal Structure of the soil • Type and Mode of Stress Application. IS 2720 Part 8

  12. Factors for design of pavements • Design wheel load • Static load on wheels • Contact Pressure • Load Repetition • Subgrade soil • Thickness of pavement required • Stress- strain behaviour under load • Moisture variation • Climatic factors • Pavement component materials • Environment factors • Traffic Characteristics • Required Cross sectional elements of the alignment
