A flexible pavement is constructed with 5 inches of hot mix asphalt wearing surface (material coefficient = 0.4), 10 inches of granular base (material coefficient = 0.11 and resilient modulus = 22,500 psi), and 12 inches of granular subbase (material coefficient 0.09 and resilient modulus = 12,500 psi). The subgrade has a resilient modulus of 5,000 psi. The drainage coefficients are 0.9 and 0.8 for the base and subbase, respectively.
