Develop flexible pavement design for the following condition using the AASHTO
method with layered analysis approach for the determination of each layer
thickness:
Two-way ESAL values for the design period: 25 million
Directional distribution of the traffic; 55-45
Number of lanes for each direction: 2(this means all trucks will be in outside
lane.)
Initial PSI: 4.3, Terminal PSI: 2.5
MR values: 9,000 psi
Reliability level of 90% with a standard deviation of 0.35
Elastic modulus of asphalt material is 300,000psi.
Crushed stone (MR=30,000psi) will be used for the base layer.
Granular material (MR=15,000psi) will be used for the subbase layer.
Use 1.0 for drainage coefficient for all layers.
