B. A rigid pavement with a 10-inch slab thickness, 90 percent reliability, E. = 4 million lb/in², 600 lb/in² modulus of rupture, 150 lb/in³ modulus of subgrade reaction, a 2.8 load transfer coefficient, initial PSI of 4.8, final PSI of 2.5, overall standard deviation of 0.35, and a drainage coefficient of 0.8 is designed. The pavement's design life is 20 years. The three-lane road is built for vehicles with one 20,000-pound single axle, one 26,000-pound tandem axle, and one 34,000-pound triple axle. Calculate the projected daily truck traffic on the three lanes.
A rigid pavement is designed with a 11-inch slab, an E_c of 6 million Ib/in^2, a concrete modulus of rupture of 432 Ib/in^2, a
load transfer coefficient of 3.0, an initial PSI of 4.50, and a TSI of 2.5. The overall standard deviation is 0.56, the modulus of
subgrade reaction is 190 Ib/in^3, and a reliability of 90% is used along with a drainage coefficient of 0.87. The pavement is
designed assuming that traffic is composed entirely of trucks (50 per day). Each truck has one 20-kip single axle and one
42-kip tandem axle (the effect of all other vehicles is ignored). A section of this road is to be replaced (due to different
subgrade characteristics) with a flexible pavement having a SN of 5 and is expected to last the same number of years as
the rigid pavement. What is the assumed soil resilient modulus? (Assume that all other factors are the same as for the rigid
pavement). Please report your answer as a decimal in units of Ib/in^2. For example, report 3000.6 Ib/in^2 as 3000.6.

- A flexible pavement is to be designed to last 10 years. The initial PSI is 4.2 and the TSI (the final PSI) is determined to be 2.5. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 15,000 lb/in². Reliability is 95% with an overall standard deviation of 0.35.
