Problem 1[10 points]
A flexible pavement has a 4-inch hot-mix asphaltic concrete wearing surface, a 7-inch densegraded crushed stone base, and a 10-inch crushed stone subbase. The pavement is on a soil
with a resilient modulus of 5,000 lb/in2
. The pavement was designed with 90% reliability, an
overall standard deviation of 0.4, and a \Delta PSI of 2.0(a TSI of 2.5). The drainage coefficients
are 0.9 and 0.8 for the base and subbase, respectively. How many 25-kip single-axle loads
can be carried before the pavement reaches its TSI (with given reliability)?
