Question: Using the data given below, calculate the wheel load stresses at ( a ) interior ( b ) edge and ( c ) corner regions

Using the data given below, calculate the wheel load stresses at (a) interior (b) edge and (c) corner regions of a cement concrete pavement using Westergaard's stress equations. Also determine the probable location where the crack is likely to develop due to comer loading.
Whed load. P=5100Kg
Modulus of elasticity of cement concrete, E=3.1105kgcm2
Pavement thickness. h=18cm
Poisson's ratio of conerete, =0.15
Modulus of subgrade reaction, K=6.0kgcm3
Radius of contact area, a=15cm
Using the data given below, calculate the wheel
