highway engineering

Given:
Flexible pavement in rural interstate highway.
Design ESAL 3000000
Subbase exposed to moisture saturation 5% of time & drainage quality is fair.
Base saturation level 10% of time (Fair drainage quality).
Mr (HMA) = 420,000 psi
Mr (base) = 24,000 psi
Mr (subbase) = 10,000 psi
CBR (Subgrade) = 1.0
Reliability Level R = 85%
So = 0.45
APSI = 2
Required: Design the pavement by the AASHTO method
