Question: A flexible pavement has a 4 - inch hot - mix asphalt ( HMA ) wearing surface, an 8 - inch densegraded crushed stone base,

A flexible pavement has a 4-inch hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearing surface, an 8-inch densegraded crushed stone base, and an 8-inch crushed stone subbase. The pavement is on a soil with a CBR of 4. The pavement was designed with 93% reliability, an overall standard deviation of 0.3, and a ???? PSI of 2.2(and TSI of 2.5). The drainage coefficients are 1. How many 42-kip single-axle loads can be carried before the pavement reaches its TSI (with the given reliability)?
A flexible pavement has a structural number of 3.8, the initial PSI is 4.7 and the terminal serviceability is 2.5. The soil has a resilient modulus of 13,000. The overall standard deviation is 0.4 and the design reliability is 95%. The pavement is currently designed for 1800 equivalent 18-kip single-axle loads per day. What is the pavement's design life in years? If the number of 18-kip single-axle loads were to increase by 50%, by how many years would the pavement's design life be reduced?
