Question

2. Calculate the Effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (k) per Table 3.2 of the 1993 AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design Guide for the pavement configuration given in Figure 1 and for the seasonal subgrade soil data given in Table 1. You must make appropriate corrections for depth to bedrock and loss of support (Use LOS 1.0). Use a Subbase resilient modulus of 75 ksi and assume that there is no seasonal variation of subbase strength Eigure 1 8" thick Concrete Slab 6" thick Cement Treated Base 10 feet thick subgrade Bedrock Table 1. Seasonal variation of subgrade resilient modulus No. Seasonal Period 1 December - February 2 March April 3 May November Subgrade Resilient Modulus (ksi) 20 7.2 12

Explanation / Answer

Modulus of subgrade reaction(K)= load(In Kg)÷penetration (in cm)

And use this formula find the value of effective modulus of subgrade reaction
