    Assignment Sheet 1

    1. Sketch and show the dimensions of the most realistic contact areas on flexible and rigid
    pavements for a standard axle load of 80 kN with a tyre pressure of 552 kPa. If the contact
    area on rigid pavement is assumed as rectangle, what should be the dimension of the rectangular
    area?

    2. Determine the complete state of stress (σz, σr, σt) using one-layer theory under the centreline of
    a tyre having a 222.5 kN, 690 kPa pressure for the following depth-tyre radius ratios: 0, 0.2,
    0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0. Assume the pavement is characterised by µ = 0.5 and E = 20.7 MPa.

    3. Repeat problem 1 for the case when µ = 0.2 and comment on the effect of µ upon the
    computed stresses.

    4. For the pavement and load conditions of problem 1, calculate the strains (ε z, ε r, ε t) at depth-tyre
    radius ratio of 2.0 for µ = 0.2 and µ = 0.5. Comment on the effect of µ upon the strain values.

    5. A dual wheel having a load per tyre of 22.25 kN, 483 kPa pressure, and a 356 mm centre to
    centre spacing is placed on a pavement 483 mm thick. The subgrade is characterised by E =
    20.7 MPa and µ = 0.5. Calculate the total pavement deflection due to the dual load by one
    layer theory at the following radial distances from the centre line of one tyre: r = 0, 89, 178,
    267, and 356 mm.

    6. Repeat problem 4 using two-layer interface theory. Assume that E1 = 10E2 .

    7. A plate bearing test using 750 mm diameter rigid plate was made on a subgrade as well as on
    254 mm of gravel base course. The unit load required to cause settlement of 5 mm was 69 kPa
    and 276 kPa, respectively. Determine the required thickness of base course to sustain a 222.5
    kN tyre, 690 kPa pressure and maintain a deflection of 5 mm.

    8. A pavement structure is comprised of the following layers: 146 mm AC, E = 2.76 GPa; 584
    mm of granular base, E = 138 MPa; and a subgrade having an E = 69 MPa. All layers are
    assumed to have µ = 0.5. Calculate the horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the AC layer
    and the vertical compressive strain at the top of the subgrade layer under the centre line of a 178
    kN, 1035 kPa pressure.
