Question
A four-lane northbound section of interstate has rigid
pavement and was designed with a 8-inch slab,
90% reliability, 700 lb/in2 concrete modulus of rupture,
5 million lb/in2 modulus of elasticity, 3.0 load transfer
coefficient, and an overall standard deviation of 0.3.
The initial PSI is 4.6 and the TSI is 2.5. The CBR is 25
with a drainage coefficient of 1.0. A design mistake was made that ignored 1000 total northbound (daily) passes of trucks with 22 kip single and 30 kip tandem axles. What slab thickness should have been used?
