Problem No. 1A flexible pavement for an urban interstate highway is to be designed using the AASHTOmethod to carry a design ESAL of 3 x 106. It is estimated that it takes about a week for water tobe drained from within the pavement and the pavement structure will be exposed to moisturelevels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. The following additional information is available: Elastic modulus of asphalt concrete = 450,000 psiResilient modulus of base material = 35,000 psiResilient modulus of subbase material = 15,000 psiCBR of subgrade material = 8(a) Consider designing the same pavement with only asphalt concrete and base layer (excluding subbase layer). Use the information provided in Problem 1. (b) Compare strengths and weaknesses of each design.
