A new four lane divided highway is to be constructed on a subgrade of CBR 1.8%. The ADT of commercial truck traffic based on the last count was 8000 (in both the directions). The directional split of traffic is 65:35. Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) based on axle load survey was 3.0. The pavement section is to be designed for a life span of 15 years. The last traffic count was taken 1 year back and the project would be completed in 2 years from now. The growth rate of traffic = 8%. The design cumulative standard axles on the road will be equal to
