Assessment criteria Content, presentation and layout include: • the accuracy and relevance of information • application of knowledge • language and grammar used in writing reports • proper referencing of sources of information (when referencing, Harvard style should be used.) • equations, images, data and tables, and the quality of presentation and layout.

• References (1 marks) • Follow the report structure as given above (2 marks is reserved for overall presentation quality). • Start new chapter from a new page. • Do not copy and paste any tables, figures from lecture notes and design guides, except you created by yourself, just provide a proper reference to them. • Number each table and figure you created sequentially and refer them inside the text. • The submission should be easily understandable for general audience, who may or may not have technical knowledge on pavement design. • Write proper unit of measurements.

• Chapter 3 Flexible Pavement Alternatives (can be sub-sectioned based on the type--- detailed stepwise calculations must be provided with proper referencing either inside the report texts or in the appendices) (2+4+4+4 = 14 marks) ? Unbound granular pavement with thin bituminous surfacing (use Figure 8.4) ? Full depth asphalt (E=2500MPa) ? Asphalt (150mm think, E=5000MPa) with cemented material (E=5000MPa) base ? Asphalt (175mm think, E=2000MPa), cemented material (E=2000MPa) and unbound granular material (500MPa) • Chapter 4 Comparison of the designs and recommendations (compare all alternative designs in a tabular form and propose the best alternative in terms of cost criteria ONLY… unit costs of different pavement materials are to be collected from current Australian references… students are to search and locate these unit costs) (2 marks)

• Suggested contents of the report chapters (can be modified as required) are: • Title pages (title, acknowledgement, executive summary or abstract, table of contents, list of figures and tables, abbreviations) (1.5 marks) • Chapter 1 Project Introduction (client, location, objectives, issues, scopes, summary of the information supplied by the client, methodology adopted, report organisation etc.) (1.5 marks) • Chapter 2 Pavement Design Input Parameters (some of these can be just the list of known information; others may be required to calculate, e.g. subgrade evaluations, pavement materials, traffic loading etc.) (3 marks)

This assignment exactly resembles to the following assignment task which your website/company has already assisted with. just shared has minor differences in values given in the data and for my assignmnet we dont need Rigid pavement analysis. • Teamwork: This design project is team based assessment. Please find another student and make a team of 2 to work on this assessment. Enrol in as group in unit site and submit as a group task. If you are unable to find a friend or do not agree with the contribution by your friend, submit your work alone. There will be no punishment or reward for submitting alone. Prepare (sequentially organise, properly format and scan if necessary) and upload a single PDF file (only one file per assessment item with Student ID of any member of the group as file name, for example, 211111111.pdf) on CloudDeakin Dropbox. Note: Softcopy docs (Excel, Word, AutoCAD etc) and multiple files for one assessment item will not be assessed or referenced!
