From the section I, II & III graphs, 90%-ile values can be calculated and
taken to be as the design CBR:
Section I
d = 0.1 * (n-1)
= 0.1 * (7-1) = 0.6
From the graph CBR design corresponding to 0.6 = 15.2%15%
Subgrade class: S15
Section II
d = 0.1 * (13-1) = 1.2
From the graph CBR design corresponding to 1.2 =6.2%6%
Subgrade class: S3
Section III
d = 0.1 * (5-1) = 0.4
From the graph CBR design corresponding to 0.4 =19%
Subgrade class: S15

D.CONCLUSION
a) Pavement options
none
From the design traffic loading and CBR designs from the
homogeneous sections, pavement options which can satisfy the data
are:
i.
Flexible pavement
ii.
Semi-rigid pavement
iii.
Rigid pavement
b) Design of pavement layers (flexible pavement with granular base
course)
