A flexible pavement (SN = 4) is to be designed to last 14 years. The daily car traffic is 17,360, and the daily truck traffic is 1,212 single-unit trucks with two single axles and 325 tractor semi-trailer %3D trucks with single, tandem, and triple axles. The axle weights are: cars: two (one front, one back) 2000-lb single axles single-unit truck: 8000-lb, single axle (front), 22,000-lb, single axle (back), tractor semi-trailer truck: 10,000-lb single axle, 16.000-lb tandem axle, 44,000-lb triple axle Calculate the 18-kip equivalent single axle load for the total traffic over the design period. (round your answer to the nearest whole number)
