Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A dual axle truck has single wheels that experience loads of 2000 kg and 3000 kg. How do you calculate the total response on a pavement section?

💡 Hint: Evaluate each axle’s impact using equivalent factors.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a flexible pavement for a highway expected to handle 12,000 standard axle loads over a design period of 20 years. Calculate traffic growth factors and expected performance under load.

💡 Hint: Identify trends in traffic load growth to inform your design.
