A flexible pavement having a thíckness of 46 mm carries a static wheel load of "W". The circular contact are of time has an equivalent radius of 150 mm. If the load "W" is assumed to be transmitted across a wide area of subgrade at an angle of 45°, compute the value of wheel load "W" if the bearing stress of the base is 0.42 MPa.

Q2) A wheel load with circular area has a radius 6 in. and uniform pressure 552 kPa is applied on a two-layer system, consists of asphalt layer has an elastic modulus of 350000 psi and stabilized subgrade has elastic modulus 70000 psi. The subgrade can support a maximum vertical stress allowing for allowable number of stress repetitions of 2.5 x 109 before occurring of permanent deformation. Calculate the required thickness of a full-depth pavement, deflection in pavement and the critical tensile strain at the bottom of asphalt layer.
By the Asphalt Institute method, determine the allowable ESAL for a 3.5-inch overlay on an asphalt pavement with a representative rebound deflection of 0.075 inches. E2 = (1.5x70x6.4)/0.062 = 10840 psi Deflection = 0.04621 ESAL = 347000
