The circular contact radius of the tire is 180 mm and the transmitted load is distributed across a wide area of subgrade at an angle of 47°. The subgrade bearing value is 0.30 MPa while that of the base is 0.60 MPa. Design the thickness of the pavement and that of the base ? Please give me right solution.. urgenttttttttt help me Thank you
Problem No. 1A flexible pavement for an urban interstate highway is to be designed using the AASHTO method to carry a design ESAL of 3 x 106. It is estimated that it takes about a week for water to be drained from within the pavement and the pavement structure will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. The following additional information is available: Elastic modulus of asphalt concrete = 450,000 psiResilient modulus of base material = 35,000 psiResilient modulus of subbase material = 15,000 psiCBR of subgrade material = 8
