Question: Problem # : ruck A has two single axles. One axle weighs 1 2 , 0 0 0 l b and the other weighs 2

Problem # : ruck A has two single axles. One axle weighs 12,000lb and the other weighs 23,000lb. Truck B has an 8000-lb single axle and a 43,000-Ib tandem axle. On a flexible pavement with a 3-inch HMA wearing surface, a 6-inch soil-cement base, and an 8-inch crushed stone subbase, which truck will cause more pavement damage? (Assume that drainage coefficients are 1.0.)
Problem # 2: A flexible pavement has a 4-inch HMA wearing surface, a 7-inch dense-graded crushed stone base, and a 10-inch crushed stone subbase. The pavement is on a soil with a resilient modulus of 5000lbin2. The pavement was designed with 90% reliability, an overall standard deviation of 0.4, and a 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)?
