A flexible pavement carries a static wheel load of 53.5kN. The circular contact area of the tire is 85806 square mm and the transmitted load is distributed across a wide area of the subgrade at an angle of 45 degrees. The subgrade bearing value is 0.14MPA, while that of the base is 0.41Mpa. Design the thickness of pavement and that of the base. answer should be in mm. Identity first the thickness of the pavement next the thickness of the base.

A pavement consists of 5 inches of asphalt underlain by a crushed stone based course. There is no sub base. The asphalt has an elastic modulus of 350,000 psi at room temperature and the base course has a CBR of 70. Determine the thickness of the crushed stone base needed to reach an SN of 2.85. Assume the base course is saturated 5% of the time and drains within a day.
