Question 64
Open questionce-1NAT2 marksNeeds review
The following data is obtained from an axle load survey at a site:
Average rear axle load = 1200 kg
Number of commercial vehicles = 800 per day
The pavement at this site would be reconstructed over a period of 5 years from the date of survey. The design life of the reconstructed pavement is 15 years. Use the standard axle load as 8160 kg and the annual average vehicle growth rate as 4.0%. Assume that Equivalent Wheel Load Factor (EWLF) and Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) are equal.
The cumulative standard axle (in msa) for the pavement design is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

A bird is resting on a point P at a height of 8 m above the Mean Sea Level (MSL). Upon hearing a loud noise, the bird flies parallel to the ground surface and reaches a point Q which is located at a height of 3 m above MSL. The ground surface has a falling gradient of 1 in 2. Ignoring the effects of curvature and refraction, the horizontal distance (in meters) between points P and Q is ______________ (in integer).
