A cement concrete pavement of a certain thickness laid over a sub grade has a radius of relative stiffness 85 cm. If the thickness of the pavement were to be doubled, what would be the percentage reduction in the flexural stress by the Westergaard's corner load formula under wheel load P. Given that the area of the tyre contact (assumed circular) is 1540 sq. Cm.

Three 150 mm * 300 mm concrete cylinders with water to cement ratios of0.4, 0.6, and 0.8, respectively. After curing for 28 days, the specimens weresubjected to increments of compressive loads until failure. The load versusdeformation results were as shown in Table P7.26. Assuming that the gauge length is the whole specimen height, it is required todo the following:a. The compressive stresses and strains for each specimen at each loadincrement.b. Plot stresses versus strains for all specimens on one graph.c. The ultimate strength for each specimen.d. The modulus of elasticity as the secant modulus at 40% of the ultimatestress for each specimen.e. The strain at failure for each specimen.f. The toughness for each specimen.g.
