Detailed Solution: Question 5

Test: Pavement Design - 1 - Question 6
Save

The modulus of sub-grade reaction is evaluated from

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Modulus of subgrade reaction (k) is calculated from plate bearing test at 0.125 cm settlement
K = Pressure (kg/cm2) / 0.125 cm

Test: Pavement Design - 1 - Question 7
Save

The load transfer to lower layers in flexible pavements is by

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Flexible pavements are those, which on the whole have low or negligible flexural strength and are flexible in their structural action under the loads. The flexible pavement layers reflects the deformation of the lower layers on-to the surface of the layer. The flexible pavement layers transmit the vertical or compressive stresses to the lower layers by grain to grain transfer through the points of contact in granular structure.

Test: Pavement Design - 1 - Question 8
