State the name of the interchange and draw a single line sketch for each of the following cases: i- All left turn volumes are within the loop capacity ji- Road B is a minor road and all left tum movements are very low b) A rotary intersection is used to secve the traffic volume shown in the table below. Ifthe design speed is 65 km/h, determine the following: i- Weaving volume for the section between Arms 4 and B ii- Min length and number of lanes of the same section = ae -Question No. 5: (15 Points) *” © Design a suitable pavement to carry the design ESAL of 1,500,000 on a subgrade having a resilient modulus of 8,000 Io/in2, with the pavement constructed of an asphalt concrete surface and a 6 in. untreated granular base course. A plate bearing test using 30” diameter rigid plate was made on a 7.5” base course constructed on a subjjade layer with modulus of elasticity ~ 4000 psi. The unit load required to cause deflection of 0.1" is 32 psi. Determine the required thickness of base course to support an 18,000 Ibs single wheel load with 120 psi tire-pressure so that deflection will not be more than 0.15”, sents, Use sketches Draw a typical Ig owing the different types of jointy gt types used. fon = 0.35 Bn factor = 65% «Lane distri «Annual rate o} « Terminal serviceab + Pavement approaches sat + Material Characteristics ae [Material Asphaltconcrete | Crushed stone base Good drainage quality ‘SubgradeQuestion (1) i) (Freeways low accessibility & high obits) ras 50% ibility 50% Mobil 3 focal road: mobility).
