i need an answer immediately thank you Design the thickness of a pavement to carry a wheel load of 52kN based on the following conditions and type of pavement. 3. A flexible pavement with an allowable subgrade pressure of 0.14MPa and the max. tire pressure equal to 0.52MPa. This pressure is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the area of tire contact on the roadway according to the principle of cone pressure distribution.
Don't attempt wrong , downvote for incorrect solution. A flexible pavement is known to have a structural number of 4.0 and a soil resilient modulus of 10,000 psi. If a pavement structure is to be designed for a life of 15 years, a reliability of 95% and an overall standard deviation of 0.35, how many passes of a design vehicle with a 18,000 lb single axle and a 34,000 lb tandem axle can be driven on the pavement per day? The pavement's initial PSI is 4.2 with a TSI of 2.5.
A thin sealed unbound granular pavement is comprised of a 300mm CBR-60 Base sitting on a 300mm CBR-10 Sub-base sitting on a CBR-4 subgrade. Estimate the maximum design traffic – DESA for this pavement. Draw the possible pavement layer thickness arrangements.
Traffic loading, material characteristics and environmental conditions, are among the factors that influence pavement performance. Environmental conditions can have a particularly significant impact on the performance of low-volume road pavements. Discuss how environment conditions can effect at Cameron Highland road.
A flexible pavement is constructed with 5 inches of sand-mix asphaltic wearing surface (a = 0.35), 9 inches of dense-graded crushed stone base (a = 0.18), and 10 inches of crushed stone subbase (a = 0.11). The base has a drainage coefficient of 0.90 while the subbase drainage coefficient is 1.0. Determine the structural number of the pavement.
A flexible pavement is designed to last 10 years to withstand truck traffic that consists only of trucks with two 18-kip single axles. The pavement is designed for a soil CBR of 10, an initial PSI of 5.0, a TSI of 2.5, an overall standard deviation of 0.40 and a reliability of 90%, and the structural number was determined to be 6. On one section of this roadway, beneath an underpass, an engineer uses an 8-inch rigid pavement in an attempt to have it last longer before resurfacing. How many years will this rigid-pavement section last? (Given the same traffic conditions, modulus of rupture = 800 lb/in2, modulus of elasticity = 5,000,000 lb/in2, load transfer coefficient of 3.0 and drainage coefficient of 1.0.).

The AADTT of a 2-way (2-lane each way) highway is 10,000. The directional distribution may vary between 45 and 55% depending on season. The lane distribution may vary between 60 and 75%. The driving lane always carries more loads compared to the passing lane. The growth factor for the pavement is 3.5%. Based on the above information, calculate the design AADTT for the driving lane if the pavement service life is 20 years.
