A conventional flexible pavement has been periodically checked for accumulated permanent deformations in various layers using a multi-depth deflectometer (MDD). The following subgrade soil rut data were obtained: Subgrade Soil Rut (in.) Number of 18-kip Axle Loads 0.1 10,000 0.225 100,000 Estimate the rut depth contributed by the subgrade soil for 1-million 18-kip axle loads.
