8- A granular pavement with thin bituminous surfacing is going to be constructed in a rural
area and it is estimated that the average annual daily traffic will be 21,000 vehicles per day.
The road will have 3 lanes in each direction. The survey data from the existing roads close to
that area shows that 15% of the vehicles in the traffic stream are heavy and the rest are
light. However, no details of heavy vehicle types are given. It is also estimated that the
annual growth factor is 3.2%. Determine the design traffic (DESA) assuming that the damage
index (ESA/HVAG) is 0.9

The retaining structure is made of wood planks supported in the horizontal direction on vertical steel piles (HP sections). The HP piles shape of an H and are typically used for piles. The section properties of these sections (A, I, S, etc…) are given in Part 1 of the AISC steel manual. The spacing of the supporting HP piles is 20ft. The height of the piles is 15 from top of the pile to top of the footing. The height of the water table from the top of the footing is 9 ft as shown in the elevation in Fig. 4. The pile height and soil properties and the earth pressure distribution behind the retaining structure are shown in Fig. 5. Figs. 6 shows the equations for earth pressure. q is a live load surcharge that accounts for traffic on top of the embankment; q is typically assumed to be 250 psf (per the bridge code (AASHTO)).
