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.

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 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?
