Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the radius of relative stiffness?

💡 Hint: Think of it as a measure of how stiff the slab is compared to what lies underneath it.

Question 2

Easy

What role does the modulus of elasticity (E) play?

💡 Hint: Higher values typically indicate stiffer materials.

Question 1

What does the radius of relative stiffness help determine in pavement design?

  • Thickness only
  • Strength of sub-grade
  • Performance of the slab

💡 Hint: Think about what helps sustain the slab during load applications.

Question 2

True or False: A higher modulus of elasticity indicates a less capable material.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how elasticity relates to strength.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a cement slab with a thickness of 25 cm, calculate the radius of relative stiffness if the modulus of elasticity is 3.5 x 10^5 kg/cm2, K is 3 kg/cm3, and µ is 0.2.

💡 Hint: Be careful with K and the Poisson’s ratio!

Question 2

Critique the design of a slab with low stiffness and identify three possible design changes to improve its performance.

💡 Hint: Reflect on what changes typically strengthen structures.
