A common passenger car has two single axles with 2-kip load on each. A truck has tandem axles and one single axle. The tandem axles carry 48-kip load on each axle. The single axle of the truck carries 14 kip. If SN=5, P= 2.5, how many passenger cars produce the equivalent damage of one truck on flexible pavement?
A northbound direction on an interstate highway consists of three lanes of flexible pavement. The subgrade CBR is 4.5, the overall standard deviation is 0.38, and the reliability is 95%. The initial PSI is 4.5 and the final PSI is 2.5. Daily total northbound road traffic consists of 39,500 cars (each with two 2kip single axles), 775 buses ((each with two 19 kip single axles) and 1100 heavy trucks (each with two 10kip single axle and two 34kip tandem axles). If the pavement is designed to last for 20 years, what should be its structural number?
