Q2-a) Design a flexible pavement for average traffic of 1000 vehicles exceeding 3 tons loaded weight.
The CBR of sub-grade is 4.0. The compacted sub-base of the poorly graded gravel layer has a
CBR of 20. The base material has a CBR of 60. The pavement will have a bituminous surfacing.

4" of hot-mix wearing surface (0.44); 4" of hot-mix asphaltic base (0.40), and 8" of crushed stone base (0.11). Reliability
was 70% (-0.524), overall standard deviation was 0.50. APSI = 2.0 (with TSI of 2.5), all drainage coefficients were 1.0.

- Problem 3. A rigid pavement is to be designed to provide a service life and has an initial PSI of 4.4 and a TSI of 2.5. The modulus of subgrade reaction is determined to be 300 lb/in³. For design, the daily car, pickup truck, and light van traffic is 20,000; and the daily truck traffic consists of 200 passes of single-unit trucks with single and tandem axles, and 410 passes of tractor semi-trailer trucks with single, tandem, and triple axles.
