A new four lane divided highway is to be constructed on a subgrade of CBR 1.8%. The ADT of commercial truck traffic based on the last count was 8000 (in both the directions). The directional split of traffic is 65:35. Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) based on axle load survey was 3.0. The pavement section is to be designed for a life span of 15 years. The last traffic count was taken 1 year back and the project would be completed in 2 years from now. The growth rate of traffic = 8%. The design cumulative standard axles on the road will be equal to

A state toll highway authority is planning to expand the pavement deflection monitoring program for its 500 miles of toll highways. The requirements state that a 20 percent change in pavement deflection should be detectable in at least 9 out of every 10 tests. If the state authority currently monitors 100, 1-mile-long segments, determine the expansion needed in its deflection program to comply with the new requirements.

From the traffic counting in 2020, the average commercial vehicle per day is 500 (10% commercial vehicle) and the traffic growth rate is estimated at 5%. A pavement needs to be designed for 15 years and is expected to open for the public in 2022. Using ATJ 5/85 method, estimate the total number of vehicles per direction during the first year of service. * 100740 213669 O 1108240 O 2173824
