1. A section of highway has vertical and horizontal curves with the same design speed.
A vertical curve on this highway connects a +1% and a +3% grade and is 420 ft long. If
a horizontal curve on this highway is on a two-lane section with 12-ft lanes and has a
central angle of 37 degrees and a superelevation of 6%, what is the length of the
horizontal curve?

2. A flexible pavement was designed for the following daily traffic with a 12-year design
life: 1300 single axles at 8,000 lb each, 900 tandem axles at 15,000 lb each, 20 single
axles at 40,000 lb each, and 200 tandem axles at 40,000 lb each. The highway was
designed with 4 inches of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) wearing surface, 4 inches of hot-mix
asphaltic base, and 8 inches of crushed stone subbase. The reliability was 70%,
overall standard deviation was 0.5, ¨PSI was 2.0 (with a TSI of 2.5), and all drainage
coefficients were 1.0. What was the soil resilient modulus of the subgrade used in
design?
3. A six-lane concrete roadway is being designed for a metropolitan area. This roadway
will be constructed on a subgrade with an effective modulus of subgrade reaction k of
170 lb/in3. The ESAL used for the design period is 2.5x10 6. Using the AASHTO design
method, determine a suitable thickness of the concrete pavement (to the nearest 1⁄2
inch), provided that the working stress of the concrete to be used is 650 lb/in 2 and the
modulus of elasticity is 5x10 6 lb/in2. Assume the initial serviceability is 4.75 and the
terminal serviceability is 2.5. Assume the overall standard deviation, So, as 0.35, the
load transfer coefficient J as 3.2, the drainage coefficient, Cd as 1.15, and R as 95%.
You may use either the design equation or the graphical method.
