To determine

The scale factor used with Lambert conformal conic map projection and Mercator map projection when creating an LDP that is secant to the earth at height of havg .

The expression for scale factor used in Lambert conformal conic map projection is given below.

kLDP=1+havgRE

Here, havg is average geodetic height of the project site, Re is average radius of earth, and kLDP is scale factor used for creating LDP.

In case of transverse Mercator map projection one extra factor k0 , the value of which is 0.9999 , is multiplied to the expression for scale factor used in Lambert conformal conic map projection to increase the precision.

Thus, the expression for scale factor used in transverse Mercator map projection is given below.

kLDP=0.99991+havgRE

The following figure is a flexible pavement system with the resilient moduli layer coefficients and drainage coefficients as shown. If the predicted ESAL = 6x106, Reliability, R = 99%, Standard Deviation (So) = 0.45, and APSI = 2.5, select thicknesses D1, D2, and D3 in accordance with the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures. E₁ = 400, 000 psi; a₁ = 0.42, Thickness = D₁ E₂=30,000 psi; a₂= 0.14, m₂ = 1.2; Thickness = Dz E=11,000 psi; a=0.08, m3 = 1.2; Thickness = D3 MR= 5,700 psi
Diagramtically show the placement, size, and spacing of temperature steels, dowel bars and tie bars in rigid pavements. Also mention their puproses in rigid pavements.
A six-lane concrete roadway is being designed for a metropolitan area. This roadway will be constructed on a subgrade with an effective modulus of subgrade reaction k of 200 lb/in^3. The ESALs used for the design period is 6.0×10^6. Using the AASHTO design method, determine a suitable thickness of the concrete pavement (to the nearest 1/2 inch), provided that the working stress of the concrete to be used is 600 lb/in^2 and the modulus of elasticity is 6×10^6 lb/in^2. Assume the initial serviceability is 5.0 and the terminal serviceability is 2.0. Assume the overall standard deviation, So, is 0.35, the load transfer coefficient J as 3.2, the drainage coefficient, Cd, is 1.15, and R = 99%.
