what are the basic parameters considered in designing a
pavement?

Answer Posted / amit

The CBR has to be between 12 and 30 . Additionally ,
compaction prior to laying a new pavement is of great
importance . In case soil is Clayey , the whole area will
need to be excavated ,removed and replaced with sandy soil.
Traffic will undoubtedly play an important role and based on
CBR and Traffic Intensity , the apprpriate curve will have
to be selected. traffic intensity will be calculated for a
period of 20 years.
