Question

The predicted traffic mix of a proposed four-lane urban non-interstate freeway is as follows.

Passenger cars = 78% Single-unit trucks: 2-axle, 5,000 lb/axle = 12% 2-axle, 9,000 lb/axle = 4% 3-axle or more, 23,000 lb/axle = 3% Tractor semitrailers and combinations: 3-axle, 20,000 lb/axle = 3%

The projected AADT during the first year of operation is 3,900 (both directions). If the traffic growth rate is estimated at 3 percent and the CBR of the subgrade is 7.5, determine the depth of a full-asphalt pavement (in inches) using the AASHTO method and

n = 20 years.

The resilient modulus of the asphalt

(E_AC)

is 320,000 lb/in². Assume

m_i

for the subgrade is 1 and the percent of traffic on the design lane is 42 percent,

p_t = 2.5,

and

SN = 4.

Use a reliability level of 90 percent, a standard deviation of 0.45, and a design serviceability loss of 2.0. Assume the design lane factor

f_d

is 0.42. (Use single-axle load equivalency factors for 2-axle vehicles and tandem-axle load equivalency factors for 3-axle vehicles.)

The predicted traffic mix of a proposed four-lane urban non-interstate freeway is as follows.
Passenger cars = 78%
Single-unit trucks:
2-axle, 5,000 lb/axle = 12%
2-axle, 9,000 lb/axle = 4%
3-axle or more, 23,000 lb/axle = 3%
Tractor semitrailers and combinations:
3-axle, 20,000 lb/axle = 3%
The projected AADT during the first year of operation is 3,900 (both directions). If the traffic growth rate is estimated at 3 percent and the CBR of the subgrade is 7.5, determine the depth of a full-asphalt pavement (in inches) using the AASHTO method and
n = 20 years. The resilient modulus of the asphalt (EAC) is 320,000 lb/in². Assume m, for the subgrade is 1 and the percent of traffic on the design lane is 42 percent, p = 2.5, and SN = 4. Use a reliability level of 90 percent, a standard deviation of 0.45, and a
design serviceability loss of 2.0. Assume the design lane factor fis 0.42. (Use single-axle load equivalency factors for 2-axle vehicles and tandem-axle load equivalency factors for 3-axle vehicles.)
