Allowable Strain Calculation
Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the bituminous layers

Calculation of Tensile strain


Nf = 2.21 x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 80 % reliability
Nf = 0.5161 x C x 10^ - 4 x {1/εt}^3.89 x [1/MR]^0.854 for 90 % reliability
Where C = 10^M, M=(4.84x (Vb /(Va+Vb)-0.69))
Va = 4.5 Vb = 11.5
1/εt = 2618.7194 #VALUE!
εt = 381.87E-06 Allowable Tensile strain
εt
Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the cemented base

Not Applicable

N= RF x [ (113000/E0.804+191) / εt ]12 RF = 1 if >1500 CVD and 2 if <1500 CVD


N= N/A
1/εt = N/A
εt = N/A in microstrain
εt = 000.00E+00 Allowable Tensile strain

Vertical Compresive Strain at the bottom of the Granular sub base

Calculation of Vertical strain


N = 4.1656*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 80 % reliability
N = 1.41*10^-8*(1/εv)^4.5337 for 90 % reliability
1/εv = (29750000/(4.1656*10^-8))^(1/4.5337)
1/εv = 1889.34213

εv = 529.28E-06 Allowable Vertical strain
