Evaluation of Engineering Properties of Flexible Pavements Using Plaxis Software

This research work focus on evaluation of geotechnical and engineering properties of a flexible pavement using Plaxis software and design parameters of this pavement were considered as per code IRC: SP: 72-2007 guide lines for design of low volume rural roads of flexible pavements. These pavements layers were tested by applying different test loads of 5KN and 10KN in Plaxis software generally the acceptable test load for low volume flexible pavement as per the code IRC: SP: 72-2007 guide line is 3KN. The output generated by the software gives the engineering properties of the pavement such as deformation, displacement, stress and strain conditions.
