A flexible pavement is being designed for a traffic load of 1.0 million 18-kip ESALs. The initial PSI is 4.0 and the TSI is 2.5. Given that the standard deviation of traffic is 0.4 and MR is 20, what is the structural number needed if the reliability is to be 80%? Please consider using the below nomograph.
