Title: Assessment of Sub-Grade soil for a Pavement design.

Objective: The objective of this project is to familiarize the students with pavement design
mechanism.

Project Details: National Highway Authority plans to redesign a Faisalabad-Chiniot Highway for
heavy traffic to facilitate the peoples of this area. For this purpose, you are required to access the
soil index properties of required area and named the soil according to AASHTO & USCS
classification system. Furthermore, access the CBR value for the pavement design.

The following methodology is to be followed to complete this project:

 Soil sampling (most effective sampling technique should be used keeping in view the
resources).
 Performance of the required laboratory tests for classification of soil.
 Performance of required tests for pavement design.

Project Problem Attributes and Knowledge Attributes:

 Individual & Teamwork


 Methodical Way
 Effective report

Project Deliverables are:

 Test results in detail


 Classification of soil
 CBR value for pavement design
 Report including final findings
