A highway is projected to carry 16,000 vehicles per day (10% of which will be 3-axle trucks with an axle load equivalency factor of 0.088) upon opening and 4% growth rate over the next 25 years. If an estimated 40% of traffic is to be in the design lane, the number of ESALS to be used in pavement design is: O 1.84 x 106 O 2.57 x 106 O 2.57 x 107 O 8.57 x 105 O 6.42 x 106

You have been asked to design the pavement for an access highway to a major truck terminal. The design daily truck traffic consists of the following: 80 single axles at 22,500 lb each, 570 tandem axles at 25,000 lb each, 50 tandem axles at 39,000 lb each, and 80 triple axles at 48,000 lb each. The highway is to be designed with rigid pavement having a modulus of rupture of 600 lb/in2 and a modulus of elasticity of 5 million lb/in2. The reliability is to be 95%, the overall standard deviation is 0.4, the drainage coefficient is 0.9, ΔPSI is 1.7 (with a TSI of 2.5), and the load transfer coefficient is 3.2. The modulus of subgrade reaction is 200 lb/in3. If a 20-year design life is to be used, determine the required slab thickness.
A six lane divided highway is to be designed to replace an existing highway. The present AADT (both directions) of 6000 vehicles is expected to grow at 5% per year. Assume SN = 4 and pt = 2.5.
