Question 1

If the self-weight of the pavement slab is considered, the temperature stresses at the top of the slab during night time will be

Question 2

Consider the following statements in the context of cement concrete pavements.
I: Warping stresses in cement concrete pavements are caused by the seasonal variation in temperature
II: Tie bars are generally provided across transverse joints of cement concrete pavements
The correct option evaluating the above statement is

Question 3

A subgrade soil sample was tested using standard CBR apparatus and the observations are given below


Assuming that the load-penetration curve is convex throughout, the CBR value (%) of the sample is

Question 4

In a pavement slab of thickness 18 cm the modulus of elasticity of concrete and Poisson's ratio are 3 x 105 kg/cm2 and 0.15 respectively. Plate bearing test shown the pressure of 1.2 kg/cm2 corresponding to 1.25 mm penetration. What is the radius (in cm) of relative stiffness of pavement slab?

Question 5

As per IRC:37-2012, in order to control subgrade rutting in flexible pavements, the parameter to be considered is

Question 6

The stress at interior edge of a cement concrete pavement using Westerguard’s equation is _____kg/cm2. (up to 3 decimal places)

Given, wheel load (P) = 4000 kg

Radius of relative stiffness = 50 cm

Pavement thickness (h) = 18 cm

Radius of equivalent resisting section = 11.5 cm

Radius of contact area = 12 cm
