    This document provides details on designing rigid pavement for a road project in Camarines Norte, Philippines using the Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load (CESAL) method. It outlines calculating CESAL values for different vehicle types based on axle load equivalency factors and traffic volumes. It then presents sample calculations for a road section with given Annual Average Daily Traffic data for 2-axle, 3-axle, and 4-axle trucks to determine a CESAL value of 0.570 x 106 for the 20-year design period. Finally, it lists the design parameters to use in the rigid pavement design equation to determine the required Portland cement concrete pavement thickness.

    The document discusses the steps for rigid pavement design using Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load (CESAL). It involves determining the design traffic, equivalence factors, CESAL calculations, and thickness design using a given design equation.

    The project is about the upgrading of roads from Nakalaya to Sta. Elena in Camarines Norte, Philippines. It discusses the rigid pavement design for this section.

    The steps involve determining the design traffic, equivalence factors for each vehicle type, computing the CESAL for each vehicle type, and adding the CESAL for all vehicle types.

    Name of Project : Upgrading of Nakalaya - Sta.

    Elena FMR
    Station Limits : 0+000 to 4+440

    Section ID: PRDP-1B-RO05-CAN-010-JOS-010-2017


    Location : Brgy. Nakalaya and Sta. Elena, Camrines Norte

    RIGID PAVEMENT DESIGN USING CUMULATIVE EQUIVALENT SINGLE AXLE LOAD (CESAL)

    1.) Determine the Design Traffic for Each Vehicle Type.

    Design Traffic = Pi (1+i)n - 1 365


    i
    where,
    Pi = Annual Average Daily Traffic
    i = Traffic Growth Rate
    N = Design Life Period (20 years for PCCP,10 years for ACP)

    2.) Determine the Traffic Equivalence Factor (EF) for each vehicle type.

    The damaging effect per pass to a pavement by a type of axle relative to the damage per pass of a
    standard axle load ( ussually the 8,200 kg. single axle load) is expressed as Equivalent Factor (EF). The EF
    for each axle is calculated using the following formula.

    4
    axle load(tons)
    EF =
    8.2

    Then, determine the EF for each vehicle type.


    4
    axle load(tons)
    EF = Σ
    8.2

    3.) Compute the Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load (CESAL) for each vehicle type.

    ESAL = (Design Traffic x DD x DL) EF

    where,
    DD = Directional distribution factor, which is generally 50%
    DL = Lane Distribution Factor

    The DL factor may be calculated using the Table:

    Table for Lane Distribution Factor


    Number of Lanes in each Percentage of 18-tons ESAL in the
    direction design Lane
    1 100%
    2 80% - 100%
    3 60% - 80%
    4 50% - 75%

    4.) Add the ESAL for all vehicle types.

    DETAILED CALCULATION OF CESAL

    I) DATA
    - Taken from the AADT of a given road section.

    Truck Type AADT (one direction)


    2-axle 4
    3-axle 10
    4-axle 10

    Assumed traffic growth rate = 2%


    Design Period = 20 years

    II) DESIGN CALCULATION

    1. Determine the Design Traffic for each truck type.

    a) 2-axle trucks = 4 (1+ 0.02 )20- 1 365 = 35,474


    2%

    b) 3-axle trucks = 10 (1+ 0.02 )20- 1 365 = 88,685


    2%

    c) 4-axle trucks = 10 (1+ 0.02 )20- 1 365 = 88,685


    2%

    2. Determine the equivalence factor (EF) for each axle and truck type.

    The table on GVW and maximum allowable axle load prescribed under RA 8794 as shown will be used in
    calculating the EF of each truck type.

    GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT (GVW) PER RA 8794


    Truck Type Code GVW (kg.)
    2 - axle 1-1 16,880
    3 - axle 1-2 27,250
    4 - axle 11 - 3 30,380

    Maximum allowable axle load = 13,500.00 kg.

    a) In a 2 - axle truck, the load distribution for each axle is as shown in the figure below

    Axle 1 Axle 2

    Dist. b/n axles


    0.2 (GVW) 0.8 (GVW)
    = 3.38 tons 13.50 tons

    4 4
    EF2 axle = 3.38 13.50
    + = 7.38
    8.2 8.2

    b) In a 3 - axle truck, the load distribution for each axle is as shown in the figure below

    Axle 1 Axle 2 Axle 3

    Dist. b/n axles

    0.2 (GVW) 0.4 (GVW) 0.4 (GVW)


    5.45 tons 10.90 tons 10.90 tons

    4 4 4
    EF3 axle = 5.45 10.90 10.90
    + + = 6.44
    8.2 8.2 8.2
    c) In a 4 - axle truck, the load distribution for each axle is as shown in the figure below

    Axle 1 Axle 2 Axle 3 Axle 4

    0.169 (GVW) 0.298 (GVW) 0.279 (GVW) 0.254 (GVW)


    5.13 tons 9.05 tons 8.48 tons 7.72 tons

    4 4 4 4
    EF3 axle = 5.13 9.05 8.48 7.72
    + + + = 3.57
    8.2 8.2 8.2 8.2

    3. Determine for CESAL for all types of Vehicles

    CESAL (W18) = ( 35,474 x 50% x 100% x 7.38 ) + ( 88,685 x 50% x

    +( 88,685 x 50% x 100% x 3.57 )

    = 0.57 x 10⁶
