A common passenger car has two single axles with 2-kip load on each. A truck has tandem axles and one single axle. The tandem axles carry 48-kip load on each axle. The single axle of the truck carries 14 kip. If SN=5, P= 2.5, how many passenger cars produce the equivalent damage of one truck on flexible pavement?

You have been asked to design the pavement for an access highway to a major truck terminal. The design daily truck traffic consists of the following: 80 single axles at 22,500 lb each, 570 tandem axles at 25,000 lb each, 50 tandem axles at 39,000 lb each, and 80 triple axles at 48,000 lb each. The highway is to be designed with rigid pavement having a modulus of rupture of 600lb/in2 and a modulus of elasticity of 5 million lb/in2. The reliability is to be 95%, the overall standard deviation is 0.4, the drainage coefficient is 0.9, ¨PSI is 1.7 (with a TSI of 2.5), and the load transfer coefficient is 3.2. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 200 lb/in3. If a 20-year design life is to be used, determine the required slab thickness
You have been asked to design a flexible pavement and the following daily traffic is expected for design: 6375 passenger cars with two 2-kip single axles, 375 18-wheel trucks with one 12-kip single axle and two 32-kip tandem axles, 225 triple-trailer trucks with one 18-kip single axle and six 36-kip tandem axles, and 525 single unit trucks with one 10-kip single axle and one 24-kip tandem axle. There are 3 lanes in the design direction (conservative design is to be used). Assuming a structural number of 5.0, determine the design-lane 18-kip ESALs for the pavement projected 15-year design life with the TSI of 2.5.
A rigid pavement of 25 cm thickness of M40 grade of concrete is supported over a subgrade having modulus of subgrade reaction as 8.0 kg/cm³. If dowel bars are placed at centre-to-centre spacing of 30 cm, calculate the maximum load carried by a single dowel which is just below the wheel. Assume wheel load as 4100 kg, participation of dowel bars in load distribution up to 1.0 x radius of relative stiffness. and load to be transferred by joint as 50%. Poisson's ratio of the concrete may be taken as 0.15.
A civil engineer found that the durability dd of the road, she is laying depends on two functions y1 and y2 as follows: d=y2+4y1−21. Functions y1 and y2 depend on the amount of plastic (x) mixed in bitumen, and their variations are linear functions of x. Let y1=8 and y2=3 for x=0 and y1=0 and y2=7 for x=7. Find the durability of the road (upto 2 decimal points), if the amount of plastic is such that both the functions are equal.

Subject : Transportation Engineering Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. Note: solve by using 45-deg cone pressure distribution method only The maximum wheel load that the pavement could carry is 120 kN. If the contact radius of the wheel is assumed to be 250 mm, and subgrade bearing capacity is equivalent to 0.24 Megapascals, calculate the subgrade layer thickness of the flexible pavement in mm using the 45-deg cone pressure distribution method.
Compute the thickness of a flexible pavement for a wheel load of 50 kN, if the allowable bearing pressure on the base of the pavement is 0.15 MPa and the equivalent radius of the contact area of the tires is equal to 165 mm.
