26. Refer to Figure 8 Design 1A attached. For the design of a 4-lane interstate highway, the damage analysis shown in the figure was performed for a 9.5-inch thick slab according to the PCA design approach. This analysis indicates that the 9.5-inch thick slab: a. Only satisfies the fatigue damage condition b. Only satisfies the erosion damage condition c. Satisfies both fatigue damage and erosion damage conditions. d. None of the above the

A 7000 meters long and 8 meters wide road is to be constructed in a remote region. Cut and fill are necessary where there is a poor subgrade soil. Four bulldozers excavated the poor subgrade soils. The dimensions of the excavated trench were 0.8 m deep by 10 meter wide and 3.5 kilometers long. The road will have 100 mm aggregate base and 50 mm of asphalt thickness. A bulldozer displaced 115 m \day, at a rate of 100 cedis per day. A laterite soil will be used in the fill operation. The fill operation will need a grader, a vibratory roller and a water truck for 20 days each at a cost of 130 cedis, 138 cedis and 68 cedis respectively. Daily labor rates for this excavation operation is a foreman, 30 cedis, five laborers, 15 cedis each. Truck driver, 21 Cedis and grade checker, 26 Cedis. Daily labor rates for the fill operations are the same as the excavation rates. One forman, ten laborers and a truck driver will be employed for the fill operations. Grading and asphalt laying will require:…

In a separate region of the new E-W highway proposed by the Maine DOT an 18 ft. highway embankment will be constructed and overly a 10 ft thick layer of soft clay. The embankment will be compacted with an undrained strength of 800 psf and the soft clay has a measured strength of 450 psf. The DOT would like to maintain a factor of safety of at least 1.5. a. Draw the critical failure service and compute the factor of safety using the Swedish method and solution charts from DM7.1 (handouts in class) H= 18 ft Soft Clay Su = 450 psf 7 = 120 pcf Hard, competent material N.T.S Roadway Clay Fill Su = 800 psf 7 = 120 pcf D = 10 ft
