    This document contains the work and solutions for a midterm exam question involving the flexible pavement design. It calculates the resilient modulus, equivalent single axle loads over the design life, and determines that the reduced design life is 4.04711897 years based on a given traffic growth rate and initial traffic volume. Key values calculated include a resilient modulus of 13500 lb/in2, equivalent single axle loads of 11522147.71 and 854100, and a reduced design life of 4.04711897 years.

    1.
    Given:
    SN = 4 So = 0.4
    Mi = 1.0 R = 95%
    PSI = 4.7 Zr = -1.645
    TSI = 2.5 W18 = 854100
    CBR = 9 W18 per year = 1800 * 365 = 65700
    Solution:
    ∆PSI = IPSI – TSI
    ∆PSI = 4.7 – 2.5
    ∆PSI = 2.2

    calculating the ESAL for flexible pavement:


    The resilient modulus MR:
    MR = 1500 * CBR
    CBR=California bearing ratio = 9
    MR = 1500 * 9 = 13500 lb/in2

    W18 = 11522147.71

    Design Life I = W18/W18/year = 11522147/657000


    Design Life I = 17.53751554 years
    Design Life f = W18/W18/year = 11522147/854100
    Design life f = 13.49039657 years
    Reduce Design Life
    17.53751554 - 13.49039657
    Reduce Design Life = 4.04711897
