A six-lane divided highway is to be designed to replace an existing highway. The present AADT (both directions) of 10000 vehicles is expected to grow at 5% per annum. Assume SN =4. The percent of traffic on the design lane is 50%. Determine the design ESAL if the design life is 25 years and the vehicle mix is: 10 pts Passenger cars (1500 16/axle) = 70% 2-axle single-unit trucks (6.000 lb/axle) -20% 3-axle single-unit trucks (12.000 lb axle) =6% Tandem Axle: 3-axle 20.000 lb axle = 4% 1,473,855 3,339.692 452,958
