Q3:
A flexible pavement is to be designed according to the AASHTO design method. The total
expected ESAL for a new highway = 9 x10°, APSI= 2, reliability = 99%, overall standard
deviation = 0.4, if the pavement layers are:

a2 = 0.14
Subbase
a3 = 0.11
The subgrade resilient modulus=20,000 psi, m2, m3=1, determine the thickness required for the
subbase layer?
