What does this mean? Your proposed roadway will receive the 20 yr. traffic projection in ~5-6 years
Assume a truck factor = 1.0 ESAL/truck
(250 trucks/day)(1.0 ESAL/truck)(365 days/year)(20 years) = 1,825,000 ESAL
ESAL projection
Assume a truck factor = 1.0 ESAL/truck
(500 trucks/day)(1.0 ESAL/truck)(365 days/year)(20 years) = 3,650,000 ESAL
ESAL projection + truck % doubles
Assume a truck factor = 1.7 ESAL/truck
(500 trucks/day)(1.7 ESAL/truck)(365 days/year)(20 years) = 6,205,000 ESAL
ESAL projection + truck % doubles + Energy sector traffic

Assumptions:– There are no available detours– The existing roadbed needs to carry traffic– Project needs to be built half at a time– Half of the road is only 20 feet wide
Requirements:1. Pavement needs a temporary widening to handle 2 way traffic2. A buffer is required for construction activities and safety3. The shoulder needs structural evaluation

Summary and conclusion
30
Why is pavement design important? Proper pavement design ensures that the design is used to calculate
project cost rather than cost dictating the pavement design Selecting the proper design strategy at the right time for the right
application will produce the best value
Review your traffic data – your proposed roadway may receive the original projection sooner which will lead to premature failures
Envision how the project will be designed and constructed to avoid failures when the pavement design inputs are correct
Use NDT to select the proper fix – inadequate design may be a temporary solution and overdesign is not cost effective
