A pavement consists of 5 inches of asphalt underlain by a crushed stone based course. There is no sub base. The asphalt has an elastic modulus of 350,000 psi at room temperature and the base course has a CBR of 70. Determine the thickness of the crushed stone base needed to reach an SN of 2.85. Assume the base course is saturated 5% of the time and drains within a day

Design a pavement for a rural interstate highway. The expected design ESAL is 13x106. The pavement structure is to consist of asphalt concrete with an elastic modulus of 400000psi, a granular base with an elastic modulus of 26000psi, and a granular subbase with an elastic modulus of 12000psi. The elastic modulus of the subgrade is 8000psi. It is estimated that it will take a week for water to drain from the pavement and that the pavement will be saturated about 15% of the time. Assume that a reliability level o about 90% is required and that the initial serviceability index is 4.2 and the final serviceability index is 2.5.

Subject: Transportation Engineering An asphalt pavement carries a static wheel load of 125 kN. The circular contact radius of the tire is 180 mm and the transmitted load is distributed across a wide area of subgrade at an angle of 47°. The subgrade bearing value is 0.30 MPa while that of the base is 0.60 MPa. Design the thickness of the pavement and that of the base ? Please give me right solution.. urgenttttttttt help me Thank you

Problem No. 1A flexible pavement for an urban interstate highway is to be designed using the AASHTO method to carry a design ESAL of 3 x 106. It is estimated that it takes about a week for water to be drained from within the pavement and the pavement structure will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. The following additional information is available: Elastic modulus of asphalt concrete = 450,000 psiResilient modulus of base material = 35,000 psiResilient modulus of subbase material = 15,000 psiCBR of subgrade material = 8
A flexible pavement is constructed with 3 inches of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearingsurface, 6 inches of emulsion/aggregate-bituminous base, and 6 inches of crushedstone subbase. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 8,000 lb/in2 , and M2 andM3 are equal to 1.0 for the materials in the pavement structure. The overall standarddeviation is 0.5, the initial PSI is 4.5, and the TSI is 2.5. The daily traffic has 1080 20-kipsingle axles, 400 24-kip single axles, and 680 40-kip tandem axles. How many yearswould you estimate this pavement would last (how long before its PSI drops below aTSI of 2.5) if you wanted to be 90% confident that your estimate was not too high,and if you wanted to be 99% confident that your estimate was not too high?
