The terminal serviceability of asphalt pavements on a primary route like a rural Interstate, according to the 1993 AASHTO Pavement Guide, is usually taken as ___________________ 11.

Which parameter (s) is/are commonly used for quality control of subgrade soil compaction? a. Optimum moisture content b. Maximum dry density c. Both (i) & (ii) d. Neither (i) or (ii) 13. If the deviatoric stress increases in a triaxial test, the resilient modulus of fine-grained soil will a. Decrease b. Increase c. Remains unaffected d. Was not discussed in the class 14. If the deviatoric stress increases in a triaxial test, the resilient modulus of coarse-grained soil will a. Decrease b. Increase c. Remains unaffected d. Was not discussed in the class 15. (5) An LFWD test (150-mm diameter plate) was performed on a soft subgrade. A total load of 11 KN was applied to the plate, and the measured deflection at the center of the plate was 550 microns. Assuming Poisson’s ratio of 0.4, compute the elastic modulus of the subgrade layer. [E = {Π(1-γ2) σo.a}/(2do)] ______________________________ 16. (5) A 2-lane, 2-way major rural arterial highway under reconstruction has an AADT of 10,000 during the design year. The annual growth rate is expected to be 2%. The percentage of trucks is 10%. The truck factor has been estimated to be 0.40 for all trucks. Estimate the cumulative ESALs for this highway on the design lane for a 20-year design period. [Cum. ESAL = AADT*T* D*Tf * G * Y * 365 where G * Y = {1 + r) Y - 1}/(r)] ____________________________________________ 17. In the current accelerated pavement testing at KSU, 500,000 repetitions of an 18-kip load on a single axle have been applied. What would be the equivalent number of 18-kip ESALs used assuming the fourth power relationship? _________________________ 18.
