A highway has the following pavement design daily traffic: 300 single axles at 10,000 lb each, 120 single axles at 18,000 lb each, 100 single axles at 23,000 lb each, 100 tandem axles at 32,000 lb each, 30 single axles at 32,000 lb each, and 100 triple axles at 40,000 lb each. A flexible pavement is designed to have 4 inches of sand-mix asphalt wearing surface, 6 inches of soil cement base, and 7 inches of crushed stone sub base. The pavement has a 10-year design life, a reliability of 85%, an overall standard deviation of 0.30, drainage coefficients of 1.0, an initial PSI of 4.7, and a TSI of 2.5. What is the minimum acceptable soil resilient modulus?

Q/ A flexible pavement was designed for the following daily traffic with a 12-year
design life: 1300 single axles at 8,000 lb each, 900 tandem axles at 15,000 lb each,
20 single axles at 40,000 lb each, and 200 tandem axles at 40,000 lb each. The
highway was designed with 4 inches of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearing surface, 4
inches of hot-mix asphaltic base, and 8 inches of crushed stone subbase. The
reliability was 70%, overall standard deviation was 0.5, APSI was 2.0 (with a TSI of
2.5), and all drainage coefficients were 1.0. What was the soil resilient modulus of

- I need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardA 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. For design, the daily car, pickup truck and light van traffic is 40,000 and the daily truck traffic consists of 1500 passes of single-unit trucks with two single axles and 325 passes of tractor semi-trailer trucks with single, tandem, and triple axles. The axle weights are: Cars, pickups, light vans = two 2 kip single axles Single-unit truck = 8 kip single axle and 24 kip single axle Tractor semi-trailer truck = 10 kip single axle, 18 kip tandem axle, and 42 kip triple axle. ● ● M₂ and M3 are equal to 1 for the materials in the pavement structure.

The design daily truck traffic consists of the following: 80 single axles at 22,500 lb each, 570 tandem axles at 25,000 lb each, 50 tandem axles at 39,000 lb each, and 80 triple axles at 48,000 lb each. The highway is to be designed with rigid pavement having a modulus of rupture of 600lb/in2 and a modulus of elasticity of 5 million lb/in2. The reliability is to be 95%, the overall standard deviation is 0.4, the drainage coefficient is 0.9, ¨PSI is 1.7 (with a TSI of 2.5), and the load transfer coefficient is 3.2. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 200 lb/in3. If a 20-year design life is to be used, determine the required slab thicknessarrow_forward
