Setts and cobbles, tarmac, asphalt, resin systems, concrete whether it's plain, patterned or stencilled, gravels, etc.

Hi there

Ive just signed up and have read through the majority of this site, its been exceptionally helpful but i still need some help so i was wondering if you could help me or point me in a direction that would be informative

I'm designing a very low trafficked road, well under 1msa which leads into a carpark, again very low trafficked but there will be coaches waiting there (maybe 50 seater) if i were to design a road for this type of (one off stationary) loading how would i go about it?

I feel if I'm on the right path by;
stabilising my clay sub grade, it has a 3% CBR with lime to increase to 8% CBR
include a capping layer, I've selected 210mm Gravel capping with a 75MPa modulus
190mm crushed rock sub-base with 150Mpa modulus
100mm asphalt base, 100pen, 3.5GPa modulus at 20 degrees centigrade
and
30mm thick asphalt surfacing, 2.5GPa modulus at 20 degrees centigrade

I look forward to any responses

Kind Regards

Jack

I wont argue except to say that a pretty big spec for a low trafficked road.

Coaches passing over areas and waiting bays/stops are very hard on surfacing.
