Effective pavement design is one of the most important aspects of project design. The pavement is the portion of the highway which is most obvious to the motorist. The condition and adequacy of the highway is often judged by the smoothness or roughness of the pavement. Deficient pavement conditions can result in increased user costs and travel delays, braking and fuel consumption, vehicle maintenance repairs and probability of increased crashes. The present study envisages designing a 6-lane highway to cater the fast-moving traffic. The objectives of the project include the understanding and applying the data collection techniques for the input parameters of the pavement design including design traffic, design period, effective subgrade-CBR, axle load survey and its analysis, Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) calculations etc. To design the flexible pavement using IRC-37:2018 guidelines, design of rigid pavement using IRC-58:2015 and following IRC: SP 87-2019, the manual of six-laning of highways through PPP model and to design the pavement using mechanistic – empirical approach using IIT-PAVE software and IIT-RIGID tools. The project corridor shall be divided into various homogeneous sections based on the design traffic. Based on the available resources and in the optimum utilization, we will provide cost effective pavement designs and shall compare the costings of flexible pavement and rigid pavement considering their respective effective design options.
