Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary. 3. Figures to the right indicate full marks. Q.1 (a) Describe the structural difference between the concrete and bituminous Pavements. (b) Explain types of failures in flexible pavements Q.2. (a) Describe road construction in desert. (b)_ Explain the CBR method of pavement design. How is this method usefill to determine thickness of components layers? ‘OR (b) Calculate the stress developed at the interior, edge and comer regions of a cement concrete pavement using Westergaard’s stress theory with following data. Wheel load = 5000 kg/m? ‘Young’s modulus of conerete = 3 X 10° kg/m? Pavement thickness = 20 em Poisson’s ratio = 0.15 Modulus of sub grade reaction = 6 kg/m’ 6. Radius of contact area = 20 em. peepee Q3 (a) Explain the graphical method for determination of ESWL. (b) Explain types of joints in C.C. pavement.
