Allowable Strain Calculation

Horizontal Tensile Strain at the bottom of the bituminous layers

Calculation of Tensile strain

Nr = 2.21 x 10^-4{1/Et}^3.89x[1/MR]^0.854 for 80 % reliability

Nr = 0.5161xCx10^-4x{1/Et}^3.89x[1/MR]^0.854 for 90 % reliability

Where C = 10^M, M=(4.84x(Va+Vb)-0.69))

Va= 4.5 Vb = 11.5

Et= 246.46E-06 Allowable Tensile strain

Vertical Compresive Strain at the bottom of the Granular sub-base

Calculation of Vertical strain

N= 4.1656*10^-8*(1/ EV)^4.5337 for 80 % reliability

N= 1.41*10^-8*(1/ EV)^4.5337 for 90 % reliability

EV= 399.62E-06 Allowable Vertical strain
