A pavement element along Thika road of 100x150x200 mm was subjected to an equal all round pressure of 120kn/m2 and axial load of 2.5KN in the X-direction. The changes in length are 0.92mm in X-direction, 0.27mm in the Y-direction and 0.18mm in the Z direction. Calculate the i. Elastic theory ratio, E ii. Poisson’s ratio, iii. Bulk Modulus, K
