a) 150 mm
b) 100 mm
c) 90 mm
d) 75 mm
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The partial depth repairs are limited to a height of less than 75 mm, or 1/3rd of the height of slab.

9. In full depth repairs the diameter of the hole is greater than the diameter of dowel bar by ___________
a) 1 mm
b) 1.5 mm
c) 2.0 mm
d) 2.5 mm
View Answer

Answer: c

10. The pavement condition factor for good condition is?
a) 0.25
b) 0.35
c) 0.45
d) 1.0
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The factor for the good, sound and slightly cracked pavement is 1.0, if it gives more cracks it decreases from 0.45 to 0.25.
