1 Subgrade & Subbase :
The CBR value of soil subgrade of pavment base (%) = 13.4
Corresponding Modulus of Subgrade reaction of the sub grade (K) (Table-2, IRC 5 = 5.98 kg/cm2/cm
As the modulus of subgrade reaction is less than 6, so
Provide DLC /PCC sub base
Effective k- value (kg/cm2/cm) over 100mm DLC = 35.348 kg/cm2/cm

Step -4 Temperature stress for edge region :
(a) for Rajasthan Region Dt = 15.8 oC
(b) l = [ Eh3 / {12(1-m2)K}]1/4 = 71.41 cms.
for L/l = 4.901
CL = 0.692
for W/l = 4.901
CW = 0.692
C max 0.692
ste = (EaDt /2) . C = 16.41 kg/cm2
Load carried by outer dowel bar (Pt) = 40% of design wheel load/ 2 1481.48 kg
Check for Bearing Stress
Moment of Inertia of Dowel bar = p b4/64 = 5.15 cm4
Relative stiffnes of dowel bar embedded in concrete, b
L = 2SxA/(BxP)
where,
L=lengthof tie bar, cm
S=allowable working stress in steel, kg/cm2
A=x-sextional area of one tie bar, cm2
P=perimeter of tie bas, cm
B= permissible bond stress of concrete, kg/cm2 (17.5/24.6)
L = 2 x 2000x1.13/(24.6x3.77) 48.74 cm
Increase the length by 10cm for loss of bond due to painting & another 5cm for tolerence in placement
Therefore, the length is
48.74 +10.0 + 5.0 63.74 cm
Provide tie bars of 12mm dia of length 70cm each
