Question: A 1 5 - inch deep aggregate coarse - grained subbase layer of a flexible pavement has a modulus of resilience ( Mr ) of

A 15-inch deep aggregate coarse-grained subbase layer of a flexible pavement has a modulus of resilience (Mr) of 300 psi for the following conditions: number of road repetition: 2.5x105, intercept strain determined from lab tests: 25x10-6, resilient strain imposed in lab tests: 70x10-6, average vertical resilient/elastic strain in the layer: 35x10-6, and water content: 12%. Determine the following: (1) the expected plastic deformation or rutting in the layer, and (2) the standard error in computing the plastic deformation in part (1).
