Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a flexible pavement structure for a new highway segment expected to serve heavy traffic. Identify materials, layer thicknesses, and address potential thermal cracking issues.

💡 Hint: Think of how temperature changes influence material durability.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate an existing pavement showing signs of both rutting and fatigue cracking. Propose a refurbishment plan that addresses these defects.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how changing existing conditions can improve overall pavement function.
