A flexible pavement having a thickness of 80mm carries a static wheel load W. The circular contact area of the tire has an equivalent radius of 200mm. If the load W in KN is assumed to be transmitted across a wide area of subgrade at an angle of 45°, determine the value of wheel load W if the bearing stress of the base is 0.50MPa. a.123.23 b.110.23 c.107.23 d.117.23
