A pavement was designed to have 50 mm bituminous surface course, bituminous binder course 190 mm, 200 mm crushed aggregate road base, and 150 mm granular subbase. The designed was based on the number of ESALs for the base year is 1.4 million, design period is 20 years and average annual traffic growth factor is 4.5%. Using these data: Determine the Subgrade modulus design input value and Estimate the design traffic (ESAL DES).
