Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a vehicle experiences a speed increase from 10 km/h to 30 km/h, and the load per axle is 10 kN, analyze the potential change in pavement stress according to the principles discussed.
💡 Hint: Refer to stress and deflection metrics to compare conditions.
Design a pavement structure where dual rear wheels of a truck equate to single axle loads. Discuss the benefits of this approach in terms of load distribution.
💡 Hint: Think about how spreading the load changes contact pressures.
