A flexible pavement is constructed with 4 inches of hot-mix asphalt wearing surface, 10 inches soil cement base and 10 inches crushed stone subbase. The subgrade has a soil resilient modulus of 12,000 Ib/in2, M2 = 1.5 and M3=1.127 for the materials of the pavement structure. The overall standard deviation is 0.5, the initial PSI = 5.0 and the terminal serviceability index (TSI) is 2.5. The daily traffic has 3000 cars, 1000 trucks and 500 trailers. The axle weights are: Cars: 20000 lb single axle 10000 lb single axle Trucks: 6000 Ilb single axle 18000 lb single axle Trailers: 8000 lb single axle 14000 lb tandem axle 40000 lb triple axle How long in years would the pavement last if R = 98% ? (Final answer to 2 decimal places)
