ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to take this opportunity to thank VIT
Chennai for providing us with such a vibrant and
learning atmosphere.
First and foremost, we want to convey our most
sincere gratitude to Prof DR.PC.Sabumon, for
taking out time from the hectic schedule and
guiding us- all so in the most warm and friendly
manner.
We would also like to extend our thankfulness to all
the professors of the Department of Civil
Engineering for the collective knowledge imparted
to us, making us capable enough to see through the
entire process.
Last but not the least; we appreciate all our friends
just for being there and extending the moral
support.

ABSTRACT
Pavements are classified in to two
types
1.rigid pavement
2. flexible pavement

Flexible pavement
Are those pavements which reflect
the deformation of subgrade and the
subsequent layers to the surface.
Flexible, usually asphalt, is laid with
no
reinforcement
or
with
a
specialized fabric reinforcement that
permits limited flow or repositioning
of the roadbed under ground
changes.

INTRODUCTION
In this project we are going to
design a flexible pavement based
on IRC:37 and IITPAVE software for
a part of vandalur-kellambakkam
road we are going to find the
fatigue life of the pavement based
on the IRC code.

Subgrade Data:
The subgrade data mainly
consist of the soil properties. In
the design of the flexible
pavement we require CBR
value of the soil.
So we had taken the soil
sample from vandalurkellamakkam road and
performed the test.The
readings and the results and

Calculations :
For 5 min interval :
Hourly flow rate : 668
vehicles per hour
5 min peak hour factor :
668/( 70*60/5 ) = 0.7952
Peak hourly flow :
668/0.7952 = 841 vehicles per
hour
For 15 min interval :
12 | P a g e

Hourly flow rate : 700

vehicles per hour
15 min peak hour factor :
700/( 187*60/15 ) = 0.935
Peak hourly flow : 700/0.935
= 749 vehicles per hour
By these we get CVPD =
1408
The traffic growth rate is
taken as 7.5 as given in the
IRC:37
The design life of
pavement
is
taken

 The vehicle damage factor is

acquired by the table given
in the IRC code

Since it is four lane single

carriage way so the design is
done for 40%
In the traffic data we also
need to find the value of
cumulative number standard
axles(N)

14 | P a g e

Afer substituting all the values

the value of N is found to be
134 MSA

15 | P a g e

Design:
After acquiring all the subgrade
data and traffic data required
now we follow the IRC:37
procedure for the design of the
flexible pavement.

To find the thickness of the

layers for the pavement
Thickness is found by the
chart given in IRC:37

16 | P a g e

For CBR value of 3.98 and

N value of 134msa the
thickness is known

So,the thickness is taken

as

Thickness
CT(base)=250mm

of

Thickness
CT(base)=130mm

of

Thickness
Aggregate=100mm

of

Thickness of DBM(Dense Bitumen

Macadam)=70mm
Thickness

of DBM(semidense=bituminous concrete)=50mm
Now the thickness values are
given as a input in the IIT
17 | P a g e

pave software and the values

of
the
tensile
and
compressive stress for each
layers are found.

design now drew our structure in A3

Difficulties faced during the

project:
Main difficulty faced was to get
the data required for the design
had to go through a lot of articles
and research papers

We had faced problems in

understanding
the
design
procedure.
