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
Please solve this question in step by step- It is transportation-2 Civil engineering My last digit of my registration number =2 Q6. Using the AASHTO flexible pavement design procedure, design (i.e. thicknesses of the different layers) a pavement for a rural interstate highway (i.e. it is a freeway). The expected design ESAL is 8x10 . The pavement structure is to consist of asphalt concrete with a resilient modulus of 400,000 psi (with a corresponding structural layer coefficient of 0.42), a granular base with a resilient modulus of 34,000 psi, and a granular subbase with a resilient modulus of (15,000+ last digit of your Registration No.) psi. The resilient modulus of the subgrade is 7,000 psi. A Structural Number SN, = 5.4 was obtained using a subgrade M, = 7000 psi using the AASHTO 1993 flexible pavement design method. Also, a Structural Number SN, = 4.3 was obtained using a Subbase M, =15000 psi . Finally, a Structural Number SN, = 3.2 was obtained using a Base M, = 34000 psi . It…
