Geometric design and construction of a new two-lane two-way road has been recently completed and now it is time for design pavement near Ballarat, Victoria. The design should cover all commonly used pavement configurations of both flexible and rigid pavements. The following are the project specific information supplied by the client (VicRoads):

  • Average annual daily traffic (AADT) is given by 1/4 x √full student ID , rounded to nearest whole number (two-way total).
  • Pavement design period 30 years.
  • Project reliability 95%.
  • Lane width= 3.5m.
  • Directional distribution 55/45
  • Percentage of heavy vehicles is given by: 1/2 x (full student ID)0.15, rounded to nearest two decimal places.
  • Subgrade CBR value is given by: 1/4 x (full student ID)0.15, rounded to nearest whole number.
  • Annual heavy vehicle growth rate is expected to be 1.02% throughout the design period.
  • The traffic load distribution for the project is given in Table 1 (there is no anticipation of increase in load magnitudes).
  • Other required information can be assumed within Australian Standard (Austroads Guides)
