32、sign The design of new flexible pavements is based upon the method given in TRRL Report LR 1132 1. In the case of overlay design either a surface deflection method or the component overlay method should be used according to the type of pavement to be overlain. 4.2 Special cases The design method des

33、cribed in clause 5 can be applied directly to the majority of flexible pavements. However, in some cases unusual or particularly onerous loading effects or other conditions should be taken into account, e.g. the following. a) Where channelized traffic is expected, the traffic figures should be multi

34、plied by three before carrying out the design, to allow for the increase in the concentrated application of loads at a particular location on the pavement. Normal lane widths in a highway do not generally constitute channelized traffic but channelized traffic can develop on any road, e.g. on steep h

35、ills, approaches to traffic signals and pinch points within traffic calming measures. b) Where speeds in excess of 30 mile/h (50 km/h) are expected, the cumulative traffic should be multiplied by two before carrying out the design to allow for dynamic loading effects. c) Where both channelized traff

36、ic and speeds in excess of 30 mile/h (50 km/h) occur only the higher multiplier, i.e. three, should be applied. d) Pavements constructed over frost-susceptible soils should have an overall thickness of non frost-susceptible material of not less than 450 mm.BS 7533-1:2001 BSI 02-2001 3 Table 1 Equili

39、 Sandy gravel (well graded) 60 NOTE 1 This table indicates reasonable estimates of equilibrium values of CBR for combinations of poor, average and good construction conditions with high and low water tables. Good conditions pertain where the subgrade is protected promptly with a subgrade improvement

40、 layer or sub-base and the site is well drained with adequate falls. This results in subgrades never becoming wetter than their equilibrium moisture contents beneath the finished road. Poor conditions pertain where there is little or no subgrade protection and rainfall occurs on a poorly drained sit

41、e so that the soil is fully wetted. NOTE 2 A high water table is one 300 mm or less below formation level and is consistent with ineffective sub-soil drainage. A low water table is 1 m or more below formation level. e) Materials whose successful performance is dependent upon compaction being underta

42、ken at critical moisture contents should only be used when engineering supervision can ensure that a stable construction can be achieved. NOTE Some materials given in clause 804 of the Department of Transport Specification for Highway Works, 1986 edition, (see annex A) may fall into this category. 5

43、 New pavement design 5.1 Subgrade assessment The design California Bearing Ratio (CBR) should be obtained either by testing or by measurement of the plasticity index of the subgrade material. In the case of CBR testing, the method described in BS 1377-4:1990, clause 7 should be used. The sample shou

44、ld be taken at subgrade level and tested at estimated long-term moisture content. In situations where it is possible that the subgrade will become saturated during part or all of the life of the pavement, the method employing the soaking procedure should be used. Alternatively, equilibrium suction i

45、ndex CBR values should be used. In the case of fine grained soils, the equilibrium suction index CBR can be determined from a knowledge of the plasticity index as shown in Table 1. As effective subgrade drainage can have a significant effect on long-term CBR values, it should be considered during th

46、e design procedure. NOTE 1 Filter drains set at the appropriate level and discharging to a satisfactory outfall or main drainage system have been found to perform satisfactorily. On sites where the CBR varies from place to place, the lowest recorded values should be used or appropriate designs shoul

47、d be provided for different parts of the site using the lowest CBR recorded in each part. NOTE 2 It may be possible to remove soft spots and therefore ignore those low CBR values which relate to the removed material. Consideration should be given to using portable CBR measuring apparatus, some of wh

48、ich have been found to give sufficiently accurate results on fine grained soils when carried out at appropriate depths and moisture contents. It is often the case that a large number of CBR measurements undertaken with this type of apparatus is preferable to a relatively few measurements undertaken

49、with the full scale in situ CBR measuring apparatus.4 BSI 02-2001 BS 7533-1:2001 Care should be exercised in the interpretation of site investigation data as the strength of soils is a function of their moisture content, the in-service strength may be much lower in soils than the recorded values in the site investigation. Care should also be exercised in using CBR values measured in summer as artificially high figures may be obtained due to the dryness of the soil. Particular care should be exercis
