Question: Please calculate the EALF for the following loading configuration for a flexible pavement with S N = 5 . 0 and p t = 2

Please calculate the EALF for the following loading configuration for a flexible pavement with SN=5.0 and pt=2.5 using the equations we used in class.
a) Single axle 18,20,36kips
b) Tandem axle 18,20,36kips
c) Tridem axle 18,20,36,54 kips
Fill the table with your answers. *see table in picture
Please calculate the total ESAL for a pavement with the following information:
a)1000 trucks per day in the design lane.
b) All axles are singles.
c) Average number of axles per truck is 2.
d)40% of the measured axles are 14kip,30% of the axles are 10kip and 30% of the axles are 22kip.
e) Growth rate is 3%, and design life is 20 years.
Please use Fi=EALFi=(Li18)4 and growth factor GY=(1+r)Y-1r
To solve this problem, you need to calculate the truck factor yourself using (i=1mpiFi)(A)
Please calculate the EALF for the following
