What term is added to the modified triaxial equation in order to incorporate the elasticity of the pavement?
The group index of the soil is found to be 5 and the traffic condition expected is medium traffic. What would be the combined thickness to be provided on the pavement for bearing the loads to ensure smooth conduct of traffic.
Find the thickness of pavement if the triaxial test is conducted on a sample and the data obtained are:Wheel load, P = 4100 kgRadius of contact area, a = 16 cmTraffic coefficient, X = 1Rainfall coefficient, Y = 0.9Deflection, = 0.25 cmModulus of elasticity, E = 100 kg/cm2
