12-7. Figure P12.7 shows a concrete pavement with the thicknesses and elastic moduli as
indicated. Assume a modulus of rupture of 650 psi, a load transfer coefficient of 3 .2, a
serviceability loss from 4 .5 to 2 .0, and poor drainage with 5% of time near saturation.
Determine the performance traffic by Eq. 12 .21 without the reliability term and check the
result by the AASHTO design chart.

Design data:
MR= 5,000 psi
EC = 4x106 psi
DSlab = 8 in.
ESB = 30,000 psi
DSB= 8 in.
Δpsi =4.5-2.0=2.5
J=3.2 (load transfer coefficient)
SC = 650 psi (Mean concrete modulus of Rupture)
Cd = 0.9 (from Table 12.20)
k∞ = 330 psi (fig 12.18)

Equation 12.21:

Ans: 8.5 x 106

12-8. A 8.5-in. (216-mm) concrete slab is placed directly on a subgrade. The relationship
between the resilient modulus and k value is indicated by Eq. 12.22. The monthly subgrade
resilient moduli from January to December are 15,900, 27,300, 38,700, 50,000, 900, 1620 ,
2340, 3060, 3780, 4500, 4500, and 4500 psi. Determine the effective modulus of subgrade
reaction.

Column 3 is obtained from applying equation 12.22.

Column 4 is obtained from applying equation 12.30.

Ú r =

k =((62.76 3.42 −8.5 0.75)/−0.39)1/ 0.25= 300.31

Effective modulus of subgrade reaction: 305 pci

 k = 75 pci
 Ec =4x106
 Cd = 1.05
