Question: A rigid pavement is being designed with the same parameters as used in Problem 4 . 5 . The modulus of subgrade reaction is 3

A rigid pavement is being designed with the same parameters as used in Problem 4.5. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 300 lb/in3 and the slab thickness is determined to be 8.5 inches. The load transfer coefficient is 3.0, the drainage coefficient is 1.0, and the modulus of elasticity is 4 million lb/in2. What is the design modulus of rupture? (Assume that any parameters not given in this problem are the same as those given in Problem 4.5.)
Problum 4.5 you do not need to answer 4.5
4.5 A flexible pavement was designed for the following daily traffic with a 12-year design life: 1300 single axles at 8000lb each, 900 tandem axles at 15,000lb each, 20 single axles at 40,000 lb each, and 200 tandem axles at 40,000 lb each. The highway was designed with 4 inches of HMA wearing surface,
4 inches of hot-mix asphaltic base, and 8 inches of crushed stone subbase. The reliability was 70%, overall standard deviation was 0.5, PSI was 2.0(with a TSI of 2.5), and all drainage coefficients were 1.0. What was the soil resilient modulus of the subgrade used in design?
