Please I want the solution quickly I have an exam!!
Q2) A three-lane northbound section of interstate (with the design lane conservatively
designed) has rigid pavement (PCC) and was designed with a 10-inch slab, 90%
reliability, 700 lb/in2 concrete modulus of rupture, 4.5 million lb/in2 modulus of
elasticity, 3.0 load transfer coefficient, and an overall standard deviation of 0.35. The
initial PSI is 4.6 and the TSI is 2.5. The CBR is 2 with a drainage coefficient of 1.0.
The road was designed exclusively for trucks that have one 24-kip tandem axle and
one 12-kip single axle. It is known from weigh-in-motion scales that there have been
13 million 18-kipequivalent single-axle loads in the entire northbound direction of
this freeway so far. If a section of flexible pavement is used to replace a section of the
PCC that was removed for utility work, what structural number should be used so that
the PCC and flexible pavements have the same life expectancy (the new life of the
flexible pavement and the remaining life of the PCC)?
