Chapter 5, Problem 5.1CTP
The subsurface characteristics for a highway pavement rehabilitation project in the southeastern United States are shown in a “boring log” in Figure 5.13. The highway structure consists of the asphalt pavement underlain by four different soil strata up to a depth of 20 ft, after which the boring was terminated. Some data on the grain size and plasticity characteristics are also provided for each stratum. Perform the following tasks:
- 1. Determine the AASHTO soil classification and the group index (GI) for each layer.
- 2. Determine the “most probable” group symbols and group names for the various layers according to the Unified soil classification system. Use Table 5.3 and the soil characteristics given in the boring log.

- Problem #1 (Beam optimization). Calculate the length "a" of AB such that the bending moment diagram is optimized (the absolute value of the max and the min is at its lowest). Then draw the shear and moment diagram for the optimized length. Optimize the length to the nearest 0.1 m. You can use RISA 2D as a tool to find the optimized length, however you need to solve for the support reactions at A, B and C by hand and draw the shear and moment diagram by hand. w=20 kN/m A + + a 12 m B Carrow_forward2.
