1.(20 points) Problem 12.7 on Textbook, page 599, also attached below. Note that Problem 12.7 ask you to solve the problem use both design equation and the design chart.
2.(15 points) Problem 12.8 on Textbook, page 599, also attached below.
3.(15 points) Use Caltrans design procedure to determine a JPCP concrete pavement layers thickness for a Traffic Index of 12.5. Assume the pavement will be located in an climate zone of Central Coast area, with the soil of CL (inorganic clays of low to medium plasticity) with a R-value of 30. Assume there is not lateral support along the longitudinal joints.
12.7 Figure P12.7 shows a concrete pavement with the thicknesses and elastic moduli as indicated. Assume a modulus of rupture of 650 psi, a load transfer coefficient of 3.2, a serviceability loss from 4.5 to 2.0, and poor drainage with \(5\%\) of time near saturation. Determine the performance traffic by Eq.12.21 without the reliability term and check the result by the AASHTO design chart. [Answer: \(8.5\times 10^{6}\)]

12.8 A \(8.5-\mathrm{in}\).(\(216-\mathrm{mm}\)) concrete slab is placed directly on a subgrade. The relationship between the resilient modulus and \( k \) value is indicated by Eq.12.22. The monthly subgrade resilient moduli from January to December are 15,900,27,300,38,700,50,000,900,1620,\(2340,3060,3780,4500,4500\), and 4500 psi . Determine the effective modulus of subgrade reaction. [Answer: 305 pci ]
