Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
