Question: 1 4 . 1 . A flexible pavement is to be designed for a heavy - load military airfield. The subgrade is a sandy silt

14.1. A flexible pavement is to be designed for a heavy-load military airfield. The subgrade
is a sandy silt with a design CBR=12. Subgrade conditions are extremely variable relative
to changes in soil type and ground water level. The anticipated depth of frost is 58 inches.
Design a Type A traffic area for these conditions. Assume that all materials used meet standard
military specifications and that all granular base and subbase is non-frost susceptible. Design
CBRs for these materials are CBR =100(base), CBR =45(subbase No.2), CBR =25
(subbase No.1).
