Practice all questions and submit any Six
Q1: Explain “Flexible and Rigid” pavements and bring out the point of differences.
Q2: Outline the advantages and limitations of flexible and rigid pavements?
Q3: Draw the sketch of flexible and rigid cross section and show their various components? Explain the
function and importance of each component of the pavements.

Q4: Determine the Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) value of the following two axle loads in terms of the
standard axle load of 8.16 t.
(a) LCV with rear axle load of 1.8 t
(b) HCV with rear axle load of 16.0 t

Q5: A pavement designer has arrived at a design traffic of 100 million standard axles for a newly developing
National highway as per IRC: 37 guidelines using the following data: design life = 15 years, commercial
vehicle counts before pavement construction = 4500 vehicles/day, annual traffic growth rate = 8%. The vehicle
damage factor used in the calculation was
Q6: It is proposed to widen and strengthen an existing 2-lane NH section as a divided highway. The existing
traffic in one direction is 2500 commercial vehicles (CV) per day. The construction will take 1 year. The
design CBR of soil subgrade is found to be 5 percent. Given: traffic growth rate for CV = 8 percent, vehicle
damage factor = 3.5 (standard axles per CV), design life = 10 years and traffic distribution factor = 0.75. The
cumulative standard axles (msa) computed are

Q7: Using IRC : 37-2015 “Guidelines for the Design of Flexible Pavements” and the following data, choose
the total thickness of the pavement.
No. of commercial vehicles when construction is completed = 2723 veh/day
Annual growth rate of the traffic = 5.0%
Design life of the pavement = 10 years
Vehicle damage factor = 2.4
CBR value of the subgrade soil = 5%
Table: Data for 5% CBR value
No of Standard Axles, msa Total thickness, mm
20 620
25 640
30 670
40 700

Q8: The average daily traffic on a stretch of road is 300 commercial vehicles per lane per day. Design traffic
repetitions for 10 years when vehicle damage factor is 2.5 and traffic growth rate is 7%, is
Q9: The radius of relative stiffness for a 20 cm thick slab with E=3 × 105 kg/cm2 and poisson’s ratio = 0.15,
resting on a subgrade having modulus of 5 kg/cm3 is
Q10: Using the data given below, calculate the wheel load stress at (a) interior (b) edge, and (c) corner regions
of a cement concrete pavement using Westergaard’s stress equations. Also determine the probable location
where the crack is likely to develop due to corner loading.
Wheel load, P = 5100 kg
Modulus of elasticity of cement concrete, E = 3 × 105 kg/cm2
Pavement thickness, h = 18 cm
Poisson’s ratio of concrete, μ = 0.15
Modulus of subgrade reaction, K = 6.0 kg/cm3
Radius of contact area, a = 15 cm

Q11: Elaborate in detail various types of stresses occur in rigid pavements as per the Westergaard Analysis.
Emphasize on their formulae and critical combination of stress at different scenario?
Q12: Explain the significance of various types of joints in rigid pavements along with the neat sketch?
