Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new pavement is designed using the mechanistic-empirical approach. Given the empirical data suggests a maximum of 1,000,000 load repetitions before failure, assess how a heavier wheel load would alter this prediction.
💡 Hint: Consider how increased load affects material stress.
Question 2
Develop a basic mechanistic model predicting pavement behavior under varying loads and discuss the empirical data needed for validation.
💡 Hint: Link model predictions to real-life data.
