Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rigid pavement slab has a thickness of 15 cm and a wheel load radius of 2 cm. Calculate the equivalent radius and discuss its implications.

💡 Hint: Carefully compute using the provided equation.

Question 2

Discuss how varying the wheel load distribution from 2 cm to 4 cm affects the equivalent radius while keeping slab thickness constant. What design adjustments might be necessary?

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between load distribution and slab performance.
