[2] A pavement structure composed of the following three layers: (5.75 in)
HMA with elastic modulus 400,000 psi, (23 in) granular base with elastic
modulus 20,000 psi, and a subgrade with elastic modulus 10,000 psi. All
layers are assumed to have a Poisson ratio of 0.5. Calculate the maximum
horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of HMA and the maximum vertical
compressive strain on the top of subgrade under a 40,000-lb wheel load and
150-psi contact pressure.
