ABSTRACT

This report explained the detailed structural design of a 2km rigid

pavement. The project was a new road to be located in a residential area
that is undergoing development. Thus, the average daily traffic count
was based on an estimated value, considering all kinds of vehicles that
might use the road when completed during the design period (20 years).
The method of design adopted was the Portland Cement Association
(PCA) design method on a doweled joint road without concrete
shoulders. A trial thickness was selected and checked for Fatigue and
Erosion damage to ensure the adequacy of the selected thickness.
The report was divided into three chapters: chapter one which was the
introductory chapter explained the procedures involved in deriving the
design data of the project, chapter two comprised of the detailed design
analyses and finally, in chapter three, the Bill of Engineering
Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) of the project was prepared to
ascertain the cost of the project.
