Determine the ground water infiltration rate, ft3/d/ft2, for a new two-lane pavement with the following characteristics: 12-ft lane width, 10-ft shoulder width, 20-ft length of contributing transverse cracks, a rate of infiltration of 0.05 ft3/d/ft2, and a spacing of transverse cracks of 30 ft. Assume a standard crack infiltration rate of 2.4 ft3/d/ft.
Please solve the below question and give the solution in m3/day/m2 only not in feets. please solve it as early as possible.
