Interstate Highway (4 lanes both direction) with AADT of 6000 (90% car, 10% truck) in one direction takes a week for water to be drained from pavement and pavement will be exposed to moisture levels approaching saturation for 30% of the time. Consider design life as 20 years and traffic growth 4%.

Resilient modulus of asphalt concrete at 68°F = 450,000 lb/in²

CBR base = 100, M_r = 31,000 lb/in²

CBR subbase = 22, M_r = 13,500 lb/in²

CBR of subgrade = 6

Determine suitable pavement structure. Use the tables from your book or handouts*** Garber and Hoel, Traffic and Highway Engineering, Brooks/Cole, Current Edition Textbook, or Indiana Regulations.

A four-lane undivided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) has 3.4 m lanes and 1.5 m shoulders. At one point along the highway there is a 4% upgrade that is 1 km long. There are 15 access points along this grade. The peak-hour traffic volume has 2500 passenger cars and 200 trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and 720 of these vehicles arrive in the most congested 15-min period. This traffic stream is primarily commuters. The measured free-flow speed...

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING: A multilane highway has four lanes (2 in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mph. One upgrade is 5% and 0.62 miles long. Currently trucks are not permitted on the road, but there are 2% busses in the directional volume of 1900 vehicles (PHF is 0.80). Local authorities are considering allowing trucks into the traffic stream. If this is done, they estimate 150 trucks will use this highway during peak hour. Before trucks, the driver population...

Consider driving a car in one direction along a straight road for 10 minutes. You start from rest. During the first 1 minute, you speed up with constant acceleration until you reach 60 m/s. During the next 5 minutes, you maintain constant speed at 60 m/s. During the final 4 minutes, you have constant negative acceleration (i.e. deceleration) until you are not moving. How far in total did you travel during the whole 10 minutes? Express your answer in units...
