Transcribed Image Text:

An asphalt pavement structural cross section consists of 6-inch asphalt layer atop an 8" aggregate base over a subgrade layer with a CBR of 6. Assuming a layer coefficient of 0.44 for the asphalt mix and that for the aggregate base 0.12, a drop in serviceability index of 2.0, and overall standard deviation of 0.40 and a reliability level of 90%, determine the ESAL predicted to use the pavement during the pavement life!. Assume excellent drainage with 5% of the time pavement structure is near saturation.
