A six-lane highway (3 lanes in each direction) is to be designed to replace an existing highway. The present AADT in one direction is 6000 and is expected to grow at 3% per year. The design life is 30 years and the vehicle mix is: Passenger cars (2000 lb/axle) = 60% 2-axle single unit trucks (6000 lb/axle) = 30% 3-axle single unit trucks (12000 lb/axle) = 10% 1) Determine the design ESAL using the AASHTO method. Exclude passenger cars. Assume SN = 4 and pt = 2.5. 2) Determine the design ESAL using CALTRANS method. Exclude passenger cars. Compare and comment on the result obtained from Problem 1. Calculate the Traffic Index using Caltrans Method. 3)
