This example illustrates the calculation of minimum HMA thickness and thickness of emulsified asphalt base for a pavement design.
E N D
Example 4: Pavement Thickness Given Mr = 10,000 psi (69 MPa) and ESAL = 106, design the thickness of a pavement with a HMA surface over a type-II emulsifies asphalt base Combined thickness = 10.5 inch (267 mm)
Calculate the minimum HMA thickness = 3 inch Calculate the thickness of emulsified asphalt base = 10.5 -3 = 7.5 inch Cont. Example 4: Pavement Thickness 3 in Surface base 7.5 in Subgrade Minimum Thickness of Asphalt Concrete Over Emulsified Asphalt Bases
Considered as a cold mix asphalt = Fine aggregate + Emulsion
