Using the following data calculate the wheel load stress at the interior region of a cement concrete pavement using H.M. Westergaard's equation: Wheel load = 5100 kg, Modulus of Elasticity of concrete = 3 × 10 5 kg/cm 2 ,Pavement thickness = 15 cm, Poisson's ratio = 0.15, Modulus of subgrade reaction =7.0 kg / cm 3 , Radius of wheel load contact = 16 cm.

A two lane two way road is carrying an initial traffic of 1200 Commercial Vehicles per day (CVPD) is to be strengthened to cater the need of growing traffic. The VDF has been found to be 2.0. The rate of growth of traffic is 7.5% per annum. The pavement is to be designed for 15 years. Calculate the cumulative standard axles to be used in design. It is suggested to use the factor of 1.0 to account for lateral placement of wheel loads.

An imaginary area with existing roads. There are four alternate plan proposals E,F, G, &H with different road lengths by adding extra road links to the existing roads in the area. The details of population and products are given below : Proposal Total Number of towns and villages served Total road with population range Industrial length and (km) 1001-2000 2001- 5001- >10000 agricultural 5000 10000 product served E 500 150 40 20 3 170 F 600 250 68 28 3 245 G 700 350 82 36 4 335 H 800 410 91 41 4 442 2 Workout the utility per unit length for each of the system and indicate which of the plan yield the maximum utility based on saturation system. Assume utility units of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 for population range (1001-2000), (2001-5000), (5001-10000) and (> 10000) respectively.

Questions count as repeated when their wording matches closely across papers. Numericals that depend on a figure are left out, since the figure changes from paper to paper.
