1. (Source: Potter) A coal-fired power plant is served by 25 trucks. When loaded, each truck consists of one single-axle of 14 kips (the front axle), two tandem axles of 32 kips each (the middle axles) and one single axle of 22 kips (back axle). Each truck makes 25 daily trips. The weights on the same axles when the truck is empty and leaving the power plant are 10 kips, 12 kips, and 8 kips, respectively. A twolane road...
Two routes connect an origin and destination with performance functions t1 = 5 + 3x1 and t2 = 7 + X2, with t's in minutes and x's in thousands of vehicles per hour. Total origin-destination demand is 7000 vehicles in the peak hour. Traffic is consisted of 6100 passenger cars (each with two 2-kip single axles), 800 buses (each with two 2-kip single axles) and 100 heavy trucks (each with one 12-kip single axle and two 34-kip tandem axles.) How...
Q1: The predicted traffic mix of a proposed four-lane urban freeway: Passenger cars = 69% • Single-unit trucks o 2-axle, 5000 lb/axle = 20% o 2-axle, 9000 lb/axle = 5% o 3-axle or more 23,000 lb/axle = 4% Tractor semitrailers and combinations: 3-axle 20,000 lb/axle = 2% The projected AADT during the first year of operation is 3500 (both directions). If the traffic growth rate is estimated at 4% and the design life = 20 years, determine the total equivalent...

The traffic on the design lane of a proposed four-lane rural Interstate highway consists of 40% trucks. Studies have shown that the truck factor can be taken as 0.45. Design a suitable flexible pavement using the 1993 AASHTO method if the ADTT during the first year of operation is 1200. PSIni-4.2 and PSIterminal-2.0. The growth rate is 5%, the design life is 20 years, the reliability level is 95%...

The current pavenmenst acteristics of the foundation layers are shown in the attached boring log The o sphalt layer, a sandy-limerock hase, and a sandy subhase. The r f an a seds of organic scils and peat. This pavement was constructed many years ago on pure experience. MODULE I: AASHTO APPROACH New information is now available on traffic...
(c) 4.1 and 23 0.5. Indicate whether the following statements are true or not for 10 only (10%) 1. The PCA design method considers the fatigue of concrete caused by the edge stress at mid slab and the erosion of foundation caused by comer deflection a) True b) False 2. Generally, the fatigue analysis controls the design of thinner pavements under lighter traffic, the erosion analysis that of thicker pavements under heavier traffic. a) True b) False 3. For pavements...
