Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an initial traffic of 600 CVPD, a growth rate of 8% for 20 years, and a vehicle damage factor of 3, calculate the cumulative standard axles and propose a pavement thickness.
💡 Hint: Follow through the method of calculating cumulative axles, just as we did in our previous sessions.
How would your design change if the design life were altered to only 10 years but the subgrade CBR remained the same at 4%?
💡 Hint: What happens to the traffic load if the pavement life reduces?
