Assuming above values design suitable pavement sections Using AASHTO Guide.
AASHTO Concept
Adoption of Structural Number Concept. (Calculation of SN for a new pavement on existing road bed soil for anticipated traffic using AASTHO formula.)
Structural Number (SN) = Structural Coff: x Layer Thickness
SN
= ai x Di
This method makes Provision on probability basis. takes into account traffic variation Performance prediction It is also required to identify initial and terminal levels of Serviceability.
( SN calc 1) 5.19
S 0 - combined standard error of Traffic prediction and performance prediction PSI - Difference between the initial design serviceability index & design terminal serviceability index MR - Resilience Modulus of Sub Grade in psi

The design procedures are based on cumulative expected 18-kip equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) during the analysis period. ( 18)
W 18
Where,
= D D x D L x 18
D D = A directional distribution factor ( 0.3 ~ 0.7) DL = Lane distribution factor (where two or more lanes){.8 1.0} 18= the cumulative two-directional 18-kip ESAL units predicted during the analysis period DD & DL combined together in the RDA manual.

Reliability
For variation in both traffic prediction & performance prediction. Reliability , Pavement Thickness Reliability for various functional classifications.

Serviceability
Ability to serve the traffic which use the facility. PSI range from 0(impossible road) ~ 5(perfect road)
PSI = P0 - Pt
