Courtesy: IRC
8. First Guidelines: IRC:37-1970
ā¢ Adapted based on International Practice (California
State Highway Dept., & TRRL) of Empirical Design
with suitable adjustments
ā¢ Design Traffic based on CV (>=3ton);Growth@7.5%
ā¢ Categories of Commercial Traffic:A ā E (450-1500 CVPD)
ā¢ Subgrade is characterized by CBR value
ā¢ Total Thickness: CBR Vs. Traffic range (A-E)
ā¢ Individual layer thicknesses can be estimated from
the CBR value of the underlying layer
ā¢ Limitations: climatic conditions based on pavement
temperatures, vehicle categories, axle load
spectrum, no-lanes and materials Char. of different
layers
8
13. First Revision: IRC:37-1984
ā¢ continued for design traffic upto 1500 CVD
ā¢ However, modified CBR curves for 10.2 T single
axle legal limits were used instead of 8.16 T and
thickness was increased by 10 - 20%. 13

16. M-E Approach of pavement Design
Mechanistic- Part
ā¢ Multi layered structure
ā¢ Each layer characterized
by its thickness, modulus
of elasticity and
Poissonās ratio.
ā¢ Stresses, strains &
deflections at critical
locations within the
pavement structure
under traffic loading
Empirical Part
ā¢ These calculated critical
strains were correlated
with pavement
performance indicators:
Cracking & Rutting for a
design life by empirically
derived equations known
as distress models/
performance prediction
models based on past
experience, field obs. and
laboratory results.
ā¢ Pavement Performance
Prediction PPP-Model.

ā¢ Design Approach:
ā¢ Fatigue criterion: calibrated at an AAPT of 35 Ā°C
for BC (80/100 bitumen). Generalised for all grades
of bitumen for a temp. 20 - 40 Ā°C:
ā¢ Nf = 2.21Ć 10ā4 Ć(1/ Īµt)3.89 Ć (1/Ebit)0.854
Nf = No of csa to cause 20% cracked surface
The DBM with 60/70 used
ā¢ Rutting criterion: Allowable rut depth = 20 mm.
NR = 4.1656Ć 10ā8 Ć(1/ Īµz)4.5337
NR = No. of csa to produce rut depth of 20 mm.
Īµz = Vertical compressive subgrade strain (Ć10ā6)

ā¢ Empirical Eq. used:
Esubgrade (MPa) = 10 Ć CBR for CBR ā¤ 5 %
Esubgrade (MPa) = 17.6 Ć (CBR)0.64 for CBR > 5 %
Egranular layer (MPa) = Esubgrade Ć 0.2 Ć (hgran)0.45
Min. Thickness:
GSB: up to 10 msa is 150 mm (CBR >20%)
exceeding 10 msa is 200 mm (CBR>30
Gran.Base:
up to 2 msa is 225 mm (CBR >20%)
exceeding 2 msa is 250 mm (CBR>30%)

MORTH 2013
ā¢ MORTH GSB grades: I, II, III, IV, V and VI = 6
Select:
Upper GSB as DL: V & VI
Lower GSP as Filter/Separation Layer: III & IV
The DL should be tested for permeability and
gradation may be altered
31
34. Observations on IRC:37-2001
ā¢ Sufficient thickness of the sub-base/Gran. recommended
in 2001 to stand under construction traffic.
ā¢ Rutting in Subgrade & Gran.
ā¢ The data on bituminous layers (1980-90) were not very
thick in India and the rutting took place in the subgrade
and the granular layers only. (90% Reliability given in
2012)
ā¢ Providing large thickness of gran. layer does not reduce
in thickness of bituminous layer from fatigue
considerations
ā¢ Rutting in Bit. layer was to be taken care of by selecting
stiffer binder and mix design (2012 onwardsā¦).
ā¢ 50% less rut depth found by VG 40 as compared with
VG 30 (MEPDG.., >2000CVPD & >400C). 34
35. Observations on IRC:37-2001
ā¢ Fatigue Resistance of Bituminous Layers
ā¢ Laboratory tests & field performance indicate that fatigue
life of a bituminous layer depends on bitumen content &
VG of a mix (C factor given in 2012)
ā¢ Softer grade (VG30) gave unstable mix with higher
bitumen content if exposed to construction traffic.
ā¢ Bituminous layer thickness >150 mm, the temperature of
the bottom DBM is lower than the top; little chance of
rutting in DBM, if the air void = 3%.
ā¢ Higher bitumen (having 0.5% - 0.6%) higher
bitumen(VG40) content in DBM makes the mix resistant
to stripping & impermeable and air void = 3% (CRRI)
ā¢ Tensile strains near edge of tyres will be higher due to
high temp. (TDC considered from 2012 onwardsā¦)
ā¢ Polymer and CRMB: 2-10 times higher live than normal.
35
36. IRC:37-2012 (3rd Revision)
ā¢ IRC:37-2001, also applicable for upto 30
msa, used bitumen gr. VG 30, with 80%
reliability.
ā¢ IRC:37-2012 recommends VG 40 with
traffic beyond 30 msa with 90% reliability.
ā¢ Alternate materials: cementitious & RAP
considered to analysis using the software
IITPAVE, a modified version of FPAVE.
ā¢ Test values are based on National
Standards of Australia, South Africa and
AASHTO(MEPDG) and India/CRRI. 36
