2. Given the pavement structure presented in the blew Table and for a wheel load of 4500 1b.
tire pressure of 100 psi, and traffic speed of 60 mph, determine the followings:
• Loading frequency at the mid depth of both asphalt concrete and base layers. Why this is
important?
• Loading frequency at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layer. Why this is important?
• If the coefficients of the resilient modulus model, k; and k, values for the granular
aggregates used in the base layer are 7500 and 0.5 respectively, determine the resilient
modulus values at the top and middle of the base layer. Discuss the results.
• If the coefficients of the generalized strain-based fatigue model, k, and k and k, values
for the hot mix asphalt used in the asphalt concrete layer are 0.008, 3.50, and 0.85
respectively, determine the number of cycles to cause fatigue damage at the bottom of the
asphalt concrete layer, N.
