Q2: Truck A has two single axles. One axle weighs 12,000 lb and the other weighs 23,000 lb. Truck B has an 8000-1b single axle and a 43,000-1b tandem axle. On a flexible pavement with 3-inch hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearing surface (a1 +0.44), 6-inch granular base (a2 = 0.2), and 8-inch crushed stone subbase (a3 = 0.11), which truck will cause more pavement damage? (Assume drainage coefficients are 1.0.)
A flexible pavement is designed with 4 inches of sand-mix asphalt wearing surface, 6 inches of dense-graded crushed stone base, and 8 inches of crushed stone subbase. All drainage coefficients are 1.0. The initial PSI is 4.5, the TSI is 2.5, the soil resilient modulus is 12,000 lb/in2, reliability is 90%, the overall standard deviation is 0.4, and the design life is 15 years. A design mistake was made that ignored 100 daily passes of trucks with 22-kip single and...

1- (18%) An engineer wants to design a flexible pavement which has a 4-inch sand-mix asphalt wearing surface, 11-inch soil cement base, and a 11-inch crushed stone subbase. It is designed to withstand 400 22-kip single-axle loads and 800 34-kip tandem axle loads per day. The subgrade CBR is 8, the overall standard deviation is 0.45, the initial PSI is 4.2, and the final PSI is 2.5. What is the probability that this pavement will have a PSI above 2.5...
