Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a new asphalt pavement design for a road expected to handle heavy truck traffic, you need to decide on the gyration angle, vertical pressure, and number of gyrations. List these parameters with reasoning for your choices.
💡 Hint: Base your decisions on the expected load and environmental conditions.
Discuss how changes in the number of gyrations might not only affect the performance of the asphalt but also the budget over the project's lifecycle.
💡 Hint: Think about the balance between short-term costs and long-term benefits.
