Question: ( 4 . 1 4 ) A rigid pavement is designed with a 1 0 - inch slab, an Ec of 6 million l b

(4.14) A rigid pavement is designed with a 10-inch slab, an Ec of 6 million lbin2, a concrete modulus of rupture of 432lbin2, a load transfer coefficient of 3.0, an initial PSI of 4.7, and a TSI of 2.5. The overall standard deviation is 0.35, the modulus of subgrade reaction is 190Ibin3, and a reliability of 90% is used along with a drainage coefficient of 0.8. The pavement is designed assuming that traffic is composed entirely of trucks (100 per day). Each truck has one 20-kip single axle and one 42-kip tandem axle (the effect of all other vehicles is ignored). A section of this road is to be replaced (due to different subgrade characteristics) with a flexible pavement having an SN of 4 and is expected to last the same
