1.0 INPUT DATA

1.1 Pavement Design Life. n = 20 Years

Total Width of the Pavement b = 2.9 m
Length of Pavement Panel between Transverse Joints = 4.0 m
Widht of Pavement Panel between longitudinal Joints (b/2) = 1.45 m

Design Traffic Loading Method 2 - Traffic Data in Terms of the Proportion of Heavy Vehicles

y=x
ESALD = AADT x T24 x DF x LF x E18 x 365
y=1
Where,
ESALD = Number of accumulated 18-kip Equivalent Single Axle Loads in the
design lane for the design period
y= The year that the calculation is made for. When y=1, the entire variable apply to
year 1. Most of the variables are constant except AADT, which may change
from year to year. Others may change when changes in the system occur.
Such changes include parallel roads, shopping centers, truck terminals, etc.
x= The Design Year
AADT = Average Annual Daily Traffic.
T24 = Percent Heavy Trucks during a 24 hour period. Trucks with 6 tires or more
are considered in the calculations.
DF = Directional Distribution Factor. Use 1.0 if one-way traffic is counted or
0.5 for two-way traffic. This value is not to be confused with the
Directional Factor use for planning capacity computations.
LF = Lane Factor converts directional trucks to the design lane trucks. Lane
factors can be adjusted to account for unique features known to the
designer such as roadways with designated truck lanes. LF values can
be determined from Table C.2.
E18 = Equivalency factor which is the damage caused by one average heavy truck
measured in 18-kip Equivalent Single Axle Loads. These factors will be
periodically updated based on Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) data. E18 values
can be determined from Table C.3 or the latest Planning guidance.

Average Annual Daily Traffic

Estimated AADT for Year 2011 = 12000
Estimated AADT for Year 2031 = 20000
Calculated for which Year y = 2011
Design Year x = 2031
Percent Heavy truck during 24 hour period T24 = 10 %
Directional Distribution Factor DF = 0.5 0.5-Two way traffic
(Considering Two way traffic) 1.0- One way traffic

Number of Lane in One way Three
