The document discusses various types of pavement failures including flexible and rigid pavement failures. For flexible pavements, failures include surface deformation (rutting, corrugation, shoving), cracking (fatigue, transverse, longitudinal), disintegration (potholes, patches), and surface defects (raveling, bleeding). Common causes are poor soil, inferior materials, improper geometry, overloading, and environmental factors. Maintenance techniques to address failures include bituminous surface treatments, asphalt overlays, slurry seals, and crack sealing. For rigid pavements, failures discussed are spalling at joints, scaling of cement concrete, and shrinkage cracks.

Often changes in the direction are necessitated in highway alignment due to various reasons such as topographic considerations, obligatory points.
The geometric design elements pertaining to horizontal alignment of highway should consider safe and comfortable movement of vehicles at the given design speed of the highway.
It is therefore necessary to avoid sudden changes in direction with sharp curves or reverse curves which could not be safely and conveniently negotiated by the vehicles at design speed.
Improper design of horizontal alignment of roads would necessitate speed changes resulting m higher accident rate and increase in vehicle operation cost.

4. • Example: The spacing between the contraction joint of a CC pavement is 4.25m.
Determine the tensile stress developed in the CC pavement due to contraction if the
coefficient of friction between the bottom of the pavement and the supporting layer is
1.1 and unit weight of concrete 2400 kg/m3.
• Solution: Equating the total force( in Kg) developed in the cross section of the concrete
pavement due to movement half of the length of slab ( Lc/2) and the frictional
resistance due to the restraint at the interface in half of the slab length,
• Sf x h x b x 100 (kg) = b x ( Lc/2) x h/100 x w x f (kg) 𝑆𝑓 = W Lc f/ 2x104
• Where Sf = stress developed due to interface friction in cement concrete pavement
/unit area. W= unit weight of concrete =2400 kg/m3
• f= coefficient of friction at interface (maxm. value =1.5)
• Lc = Spacing between contraction joint = slab length (m), b = slab width (m).
• Given L = 4.25m. f =1.1, W = 2400 kg/m3
• Tensile stress developed in the pavement due to contraction Sf = W Lc f/ 2x104 =
• 2400 x 4.25 x 1.1/ 2 x 10 4 = 0.561 kg/cm2.
5. Example: Design size and spacing of dowel bars at an expansion joint of concrete pavement of thickness 20
cm. Given the radius of relative stiffness of 90 cm. design wheel load 4000 kg. Load capacity of the dowel
system is 40 percent of design wheel load. Joint width is 3.0 cm and the permissible stress in shear, bending
and bearing stress in dowel bars are 1000,1500 and 100 kg/cm2 respectively.
• Given, P = 4000 kg, l = 90 cm, h = 20 cm, δ = 3 cm, Fs = 1000 kg/cm2, Ff = 1500 kg/cm2 and Fb = 100 kg/cm2;
and assume d = 2.5 cm diameter.
• Step-1: length of the dowel bar Ld,
• Ld = 5×2.5 1500 𝐿𝑑 + 1.5 × 3 / {100 (Ld +8.8×3)} = 12.5× 15
𝐿𝑑+4.5
(𝐿𝑑 + 26.4)
/
• Solving for Ld by trial and error, it is =39.5cm Minimum length of the dowel bar is Ld + δ = 39.5 + 3.0 = 42.5
cm, So, provide 45cm long and2.5cm φ. Therefore Ld =45−3=42cm.
• Step 2: Find the load transfer capacity of single dowel bar
• Ps = 0.785 × 2.52 × 1000 = 4906.25 kg, Pf = 2×2.53×1500 / 42.0+8.8×3 = 685.307 kg, Pb = 100×2.5×42.02/ 12.5
(42.0+1.5×3) = 758.71 kg
• Therefore, the required load transfer capacity (refer equation)
• max {0.4×4000/ 4906.25, 0.4×4000/ 685.307, 0.4×4000/ 758.71} = max {0.326, 2.335, 2.10} = 2.335
• Step-3 : Find the required spacing: Effective distance of load transfer = 1.8 × l = 1.8 × 90 = 162 cm.
• Assuming 35 cm spacing, Actual capacity is 1+

• So we should consider 2.52;2.335 as it is greater and more near to other value. Therefore provide 2.5 cm φ
mild steel dowel bars of length 45 cm @ 40 cm center to center.

Factor of Safety = 45/ 41.35 = 1.1. As the factor of safety obtained is within the desired factor of safety
between 1.1 to 1.2 so the adopted thickness for the rigid pavement 25 cm is Sufficient. Hence okay.
Example: The design thickness of a CC pavement is 26cm considering a design axle load ( 98th percentile load)
of 13000kg on single axle and M-40 concrete with characteristics compressive strength of 400 kg/cm2.The
relative stiffness is found to be 62.2 cm. If the elastic modulus of the dowel bar steel is 2x105Kg/cm2. Modulus
of dowel concrete interaction is 41500 kg/cm2 and joint width is 1.8cm, design the dowel bars for 40% load
transfer considering edge loading.
Solution: Radius of relative stiffness of pavement, l = 62.2 cm. Characteristics of compressive strength
(fck ) = 400 kg/cm2, Elastic modulus of the dowel bar steel is 2x105Kg/cm2 , Design load ( 98th percentile axle
load of single axle) =13000kg, Therefore design wheel load for dowel bar design P = 6500kg, Total load to be
sustained by the dowel bar group = 0.4P = 0.4x 6500 = 2600kg.
Let the maximum load sustained by the first dowel bar near edge =P1 kg.
Assume diameter of dowel bar = 3 cm and the spacing S= 25cm in the 1st Trail.
Substituting the relevant values , Moment of inertia of dowel bar = I = (𝜋b4/ 64)= 3.976 cm4
10. • Allowable bearing stress in concrete Fb = fck ( 10.16-b) / 9.525 = 400 (10.16-3) / 9.525 = 300.68 Kg/cm2 .
• Total load transferred by the dowel group for the assumed dowel diameter and spacing in terms of
maximum load carried:-
• Total load carried = P1 {1+(l-25)/l + (l-50)/l } = 1.794P1
• 1.794P1 = 2600 Kg, So, P1 = 1450Kg.
• Relative stiffness of dowel bars embedded in concrete = 𝛽 = (M b/4EI )0.25 = 0.25
• Check for maximum bearing stress between concrete and he dowel bar subs staining load, P1
• Sbm = M. P1 ( 2+ 𝛽 Z) / 4 𝛽3 Es I = 296.65 Kg/cm2. ( Joint Width Z=1.8cm)
• As the maximum bearing stress between concrete and dowel bar (296.65 Kg/cm2. ) < allowable bearing
strength in concrete (300.68 Kg/cm2 ) in the dowel bar design is safe and may be accepted .
• Rounded dowel bar of diameter 3 cm and spacing 25cm may be provided at expansion joints.
11. • Example: Design the dowel bars and their spacing from the following data:
• Wheel load=4000Kg, Modulus of subgrade reaction =6Kg/cm2, Modulus of Elasticity of concrete = 3x105
kg/cm2, Poisson’s ratio = 0.15, Slab thickness =20cm, Joint thickness= 18mm.

{𝐸ℎ3/ 12K (1-𝜇2)} =
4 3𝑥105𝑥203

= 76.42 cm,
• Allowable bearing stress in concrete Fb = fck ( 10.16-b) / 9.525 = 400 (10.16-3.2) / 9.525 = 292 Kg/cm2
• ( The Grade of concrete assumed M40 Grade and Dia of Dowel bar ( assumed) = 3.2cm)
• Assumed spacing between dowel bars = 32 cm and First dowel bar is placed at a distance=15cm from
pavement edge. Assumed length of the dowel bar=50 cm.
• Dowel bars upto a distance of 1.0x radius of relative stiffness, from the point of load application are
effective in load transfer.
• No of dowel bars participating in the load transfer when wheel load is just over the dowel bar close to the
edge of the slab = 1+ (76.42/32) = 3 dowels
• Assuming that the load transfer by the first dowel is P1 and assuming that the load on the dowel bar at a
distance of l from the first dowel to be zero, the total load transferred by the dowel bar system =
• [ 1+ (76.42-32)/76.42 + ( 76.42-64)/76.42] . P1 = 1.75 P1
• Load carried by the outer dowel bar, P1 = 4000/1.75 = 2286 Kg.
12. • Check for bearing stress: Moment of Inertia of Dowel = I = (𝜋b4/ 64)= 5.147 cm4
• Relative stiffness of dowel bars embedded in concrete = 𝛽 = (Kb/4EI )0.25 =0.042
• Check for maximum bearing stress between concrete and he dowel bar subs staining load, P1
• Sbm = K P1 ( 2+ 𝛽 Z) / 4 𝛽3 Es I = 62.2 Kg/cm2. ( Joint Width Z=1.8cm) < 292 Kg/cm2
• Hence dowel bar spacing and diameter assumed are safe.
