MTO EMPIRICAL PAVEMENT DESIGN There are? OK, well here’s a little more… You may have noticed that there were two design charts: The first is for “Kings” Highways and Expressways The second is for secondary highways Example 1 for AADT of 1750 use second row for silty sand with 30% passing no. 200 use second column And the winning design is: HM: 50 mm B: 150 mm SB: 250 mm GBE: 415 mm Example 1 b) Part b) calls for a deep strength design This would require that the base and subbase be replaced by a cement treated base layer (CTB) The strength of the base and subbase is 150 + 167.5 = 317.5 mm of new Granular A The Equivalency Factor for CTB is… If the required thickness of CTB is TCTB, then the GBE of the CTB is 1.80TCTB = 317.5 mm Solving, TCTB = ≈ So the deep strength design would be: Example 2 A 12 km stretch of Highway 99 has 75 mm of hot mix over 180 mm of granular base over 300 mm of granular subbase. If the AADT has grown to 2500 vpd, the sandy subgrade has 22% passing the No. 200 sieve and the hot mix has lost 65% of its strength, what minimum thickness of hot mix overlay will restore the pavement to its required strength? for AADT of 2500 use third row for silty sand with 22% passing no. 200 use second column The required design is: HM: 90 mm B: 150 mm SB: 300 mm GBE: 530 mm Example 2 * * The following presentation contains references to Tables 6.02 and 6.03, and “MTO Empirical Design Examples”, all of which are posted under subsection 2.6 of the course notes on the instructor’s website. Viewer discretion is advised as some scenes contain material of a tabular nature. ANY QUESTIONS? So, a) has 5 levels (rows) of traffic (AADT) which are different than the 6 for b) The 6 columns for different subgrade types are the same for both Each cell has a conventional pavement design AADT200 vpd Subgrades range from: STRONGEST to weakest AADT3000 vpd Same old subgrades A 2-lane county road is expected to have
