What is the reliability value that should be used in the flexible pavement design equation if the goal is to ensure that serviceability will be maintained at adequate levels throughout the design life of the facility with 86% probability? (please provide your answer with at least 3 digits after the decimal place)
Problem 1 A highway has the following pavement design daily traffic: 300 single axles at 10,000 lb each, 120 single axles at 18,000 lb each, 100 single axles at 23,000 lb each, 100 tandem axles at 32,000 lb each, 30 single axles at 32,000 lb each, and 100 triple axles at 40,000 lb each. A flexible pavement is designed to have 4 inches of sand-mix asphalt wearing surface, 6 inches of soilcement base, and 7 inches of crushed stone subbase. The pavement has a 10-year design life, a reliability of 85%, an overall standard deviation of 0.30, drainage coefficients of 1.0, an initial PSI of 4.7, and a TSI of 2.5. What is the minimum acceptable soil resilient modulus? Problem 2. Consider the loading conditions in Problem 1. A rigid pavement is used with a modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 lb/in?, a slab thickness of 8 inches, a load transfer coefficient of 3.2, a modulus of elasticity of 5 million Ib/in2, a modulus of rupture of 600 lb/in?, and a drainage coefficient of 1.0.

A flexible pavement has the following class loads during a particular hour of the day. i. ii. 80 buses with 2-axles (each axle load of 40 kN) ; ii. 160 trucks with 2-axles (from and rear axle loads of 40 kN and 80 kN, respectively) Find the equivalent standard axle load repetitions for this vehicle combination as per IRC 37-2012.
The loaded weight on the rear dual wheels of a truck is 5500 kg. The center to center spacing and clear space in the dual wheels are 30 cm and 10 cm respectively. Calculate the ESWL for pavement thickness (a) 20 cm and (b) 70 cm.
12. Refer to Figure II-1 attached. A flexible pavement is to be evaluated according to the AASHTO 1972 design guide. The existing pavement has a weighted structural number=3.4, a regional factor=2.0, and a soil support value=4.5. What would be the approximated number of daily equivalent 18-kip axles to be allowed on this road for a 20-year analysis period?a. 10b. 33c. 100d. 1490
