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.).

A flexible pavement is to be designed to last 10 years. The initial PSI is 4.2 and the TSI (the
final PSI) is determined to be 2.5. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 15,000 lb/in².
Reliability is 95% with an overall standard deviation of 0.35. For design, the daily car,
pickup truck and light van traffic is 40,000 and the daily truck traffic consists of 1500 passes
of single-unit trucks with two single axles and 325 passes of tractor semi-trailer trucks with
single, tandem, and triple axles. The axle weights are:
Cars, pickups, light vans = two 2 kip single axles
Single-unit truck = 8 kip single axle and 24 kip single axle
Tractor semi-trailer truck = 10 kip single axle, 18 kip tandem axle, and 42 kip triple
axle.
