Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a pavement design for a new route expected to carry 10 msa using a CBR of 6%. Specify layer thicknesses based on standard IRC guidelines.

💡 Hint: Use the design charts to find correlations.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a road initially designed for 5 msa sees growth to 12 msa due to unexpected urban development over the same design life, what considerations must be addressed in the original design?

💡 Hint: How would additional loads affect material types?
