Repeat Problem 19-7 using two different depths of untreated aggregate bases of 6 in. and 12 in. Highway contractors in your area can furnish rates for providing and properly laying an asphalt concrete surface and untreated granular base.

26. Refer to Figure 8 Design 1A attached. For the design of a 4-lane interstate highway, the damage analysis shown in the figure was performed for a 9.5-inch thick slab according to the PCA design approach. This analysis indicates that the 9.5-inch thick slab: a. Only satisfies the fatigue damage condition b. Only satisfies the erosion damage condition c. Satisfies both fatigue damage and erosion damage conditions. d. None of the above the
