DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENT

a) Design period and traffic projection :

The design period = 20 years

Vehicle type = 4 - axle trucks
ESAL Constants = 5880 The ESAL constants are used as multipliers of the expanded average daily trucks.
ESAL : Equivalent 18 kip single axle loads.
Expanded average daily trucks = 225

Therefore, total design period ESAL's = 1323000.0

b) Traffic Index :

Traffic Index ( TI ) = 9.0 x ( ESAL / 106 )0.119

= 9.30
Therefore, the thickness of Portland cement concrete pavement = 0.70 ft
The thicklness of the concrete base = 0.35 ft
The thicklness of the aggregate sub base = 0.50 ft
Considering gravel factor = 2
The thickness of stabilized soil with lime sub base = 1.0 ft

Reinforcement design :

Factored moment, Mu = 4410 lb ft/ft

Factored shear, Vu = 2387 lb/ft
Clear cover = 2 in
b= 12 in
Thickness of the wall = 0.67 ft
effective depth = 5.7275 in ( assuming # 5 bar )
fc'= 3 Ksi
fy= 60 ksi
Es= 29000 ksi

Strength reduction factor of flexure = f= 0.9 [ b1=0.85 , ACI 350-01,10.2.7.3]

Balanced steel ratio, rb = 0.85 b1 (fc'/fy)(87ksi/(87ksi + fy)) = 0.0214 [ACI 318-01,cl:8-1]
Actual steel ratio must be less than 0.75 rb , rmax = 0.0160 (ACI 350-01,CL 10.3.3)
Minimum shrinkage & temparature reinforcement = rmin = 0.0015 (ACI 350-01,CL 7.12.2.1)

rreq = 0.85 x f'c 1 - 1 - 2 x Mu = 0.0026

fy f x 0.85 x f'c x b x d 2

Ast at span = 0.18 in2/ft

spacing required = 20.87 in

Maximum spacing = 2 times the slab thickness but not more than 12 in.
spacing provided = 12.0 in > 12 in OK
Hence, reinforcement provided # 5 bar @ 12.0 in Ast provided = 0.31 in2/ft OK

Check for Shear:

Design f(Refer to ACI 318, 11.1.1)

Design shear strength (kip) should be minimum of the following:

a) Concrete nominal shear strength , Vc = 2 * sqrt(f 'c) * b * d /1000 = 7.53 kip (ACI 318,11.3.1.1)
b) Vc = (1.9 sqrt(f'c) + 2500 rw (Vu x d / Mu)) bw * d /1000 = 7.35 kip (ACI 318,11.3.2.1)

Strength reduction factor in shear, f = 0.75 (ACI 318,9.3.2.3)

Vu = 2.40 kip
Design shear strength
f Vc = 5.5 kip > Vu, Pass
