appropriate traffic growth rate. n + x
A = P ( 1 + r )
Where
A = Number of passenger car unit (PCU) per day for design

P = Number of PCUs per day at last count

r = Annual growth rate of PCU

n = Design life in years


Here
P = 25429 PCU As per traffic census carried out in -----/2

FATIGUE ANALYSIS
From Equation 6.6 12

N = RF [ ( 113000 / E

εt

Where RF = Reliability factor for cementitious material for failure against fatigue
= 1 for Expresways, National Highways and other heavy volume roads
= 2 for others carrying less than 1500 trucks per day
N = Fatigue life for cementitious material
εt = Tensile strain in cementitious layer in microstrain

Here RF = 2
N = 5.02 msa
E = 450 MPa
0.8040
Therefore εt = ( 113000 / E + 191 )

DESIGN SERVICE VOLUME

The design service volume that should be6.4considered

for design/improvement of a road facility, sh
be the expected volume at the end of design life.This can be computed by projecting the present volume at an
appropriate traffic growth rate. n + x
A = P ( 1 + r )
Where
A = Number of passenger car unit (PCU) per day for design

P = Number of PCUs per day at last count

r = Annual growth rate of PCU


Number of years between the last count and the year of completion of
x =
construction

n = Design life in years


Here
P = 25429 PCU As per traffic census carried out in -----/2

r = 5 %
x = 2 years

n = 10 years
Therefore
2 + 10
A = 25429 ( 1 + 0.05 )

12
A = 25429 ( 1.05 )

A = 45667 PCU
