Traffic Analysis - Rigorous Procedure
A flexible pavement is considered for highway construction project with a projected structural number SN=5 and terminal serviceability Pt=2.5. Determine the design ESAL's using the rigorous method.
a Pavement performance period =20 years
a 2-way ADT =20,000 vehicles/day
a Number of lanes in design direction =2
a % Trucks in design lane =80
a.% Trucks in design direction =50
