AASHTO, 1993 Design Method Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Design Procedure

Page 20: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) Traffic loads applied on the pavement surface range from light passenger

cars to heavy trucks. To design a pavement section the damage caused by all axle loads that will be applied on the pavement during its designed life has to be considered.

Different magnitudes and different numbers of repetitions are converted to an equivalent number of repetitions of a standard axle load that causes the same damage to the pavement. A standard axle load was selected as 18000 Lb (80 kN) applied on a single axle with a dual wheel at each end.

The ESAL is the equivalent number of repetitions of the 18-kip (80 kN) standard axle load that causes the same damage to the pavement caused by one-pass of the axle load in question.

Equivalent Axle Load Factors (EALF) to relate the damage caused by different load magnitudes and axle configurations to the standard axle load as shown in Equation below

where Wt18 is the number of 18-kip (80-kN) single-axle load applications to time t (failure) and Wtx is the number of x-axle load applications to time t (failure).

Equations to calculate pavement thickness

Lx is the load in kips on one single axle, one set of tandem axles, or one set of triple axles;

L2 is the axle code (1 for single, 2 for tandem axles, and 3 for triple axles);

pt is the terminal serviceability index b18 is the value of bx when Lx is equal to 18 and L2 is equal to

one. SN is the structural numbers, which is an index that combines the

effect of material properties, layer thicknesses and drainage quality

Page 25: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

ESAL at first day and cumulatif ESAL during design life ESAL at first day may be calculated as follow

Cumulatif ESAL during design life can be calculated as follow

where Ni is the number of repetitions of axle group i, EALFi is the equivalency factor for axle group m is number of axle groups n is the designed life of the pavement in years i is the expected annual traffic growth rate.

Page 26: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Since the EALFs are not very sensitive to SN, a SN value of 5 may be assumed in most cases. Unless the design thickness is significantly different, no iterations will be needed

Design Procedure Step 1 — Reliability Step 2 — Overall Standard Deviation Step 3 — Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load Step 4 — Effective Roadbed Soil Resilient Modulus Step 5 — Resilient Moduli of Pavement Layers Step 6 — Serviceability Loss Step 7 — Structural Numbers Step 8 — Structural Layer Coefficients Step 9 — Drainage Coefficients Step 10 — Layer Thicknesses Step 11 — Freeze or Thaw and Swelling (additional) Step 12 — Life-Cycle Cost (additional)

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Step 1 — Reliability A reliability level (R) is selected depending on

the functional classification of the road and whether the road is in urban or rural area. The reliability is the chance that pavement will last for the design period without failure. A larger reliability value will ensure better performance, but it will require larger layer thicknesses.

Page 29: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Step 2 — Overall Standard Deviation The overall standard deviation ðSoÞ takes

into consideration the variability of all input data. The 1993 design guide recommends an approximate range of 0.4 to 0.5 for flexile pavements

Page 30: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Step 3 — Cumulative Equivalent Single Axle Load In this step, the designer assumes a designed life, typically in the

range of 10 to 20 years. The cumulative expected 18-kip (80-kN) ESAL (W18) during the designed life in the design lane is then determined as discussed earlier. If the cumulative two-directional 18-kip ESAL is known, the designer must factor the design traffic by directions by multiplying by the directional distribution factor (D) to get the ESAL in the predominate direction. For example, if the traffic split during the peak hour is 70 – 30%, D is taken as 0.7.

To get the ESAL in the design (right) lane, the design traffic in the predominant direction is multiplied by the lane distribution factor (L)

Step 5 — Resilient Moduli of Pavement Layers The resilient moduli ðMRÞ of the surface,

base, and subbase layers are either determined using laboratory testing or estimated using previously developed correlations

Page 33: Lect 6 pavement design

MANAGEMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Step 6 — Serviceability Loss The serviceability loss is the difference

between the initial serviceability index (po) and the terminal serviceability index (pt). The typical Po value for a new pavement is 4.6 or 4.5. The recommended values of pt are 3.0, 2.5 or 2.0 for major roads, intermediate roads and secondary roads, respectively

Step 7 — Structural Numbers The required structural number above the

subgrade (SN3) is determined using following equation (that also can be described using the figure).

Step 8 — Structural Layer Coefficients The structural layer coefficient is a measure of the

relative ability of a unit thickness of a given material to function as a structural component of the pavement.

Three structural layer coefficients (a1, a2 and a3) are required for the surface, base and subbase, respectively.

(c) Estimation of directional split of design traffic(d) Estimation of design lane traffic(e) Estimation of the magnitudes of wheel loads by vehicle

type(f) Computation of the number of applications of wheel

loads in the design lane

Computation of Design Traffic LoadingTraffic Loading Computation: Structural analysis and design of pavement requires the

knowledge of (a) the magnitudes of axle loads in the design traffic, and (b) the number of times each of these loads will be applied on the design lane during the design life of the pavement.

Two forms of field survey are required to obtain the required information from similar highway type within the same region.

First, traffic count surveys must be conducted to determine the number of vehicle types in the design traffic. For pavement design, it is necessary to classify vehicles by size and axle configuration, such as cars, buses, single-unit trucks, and different types of multiple-unit trucks.

Second, a survey to measure the axle or wheel loads of each vehicle type. Such axle or wheel load survey can be performed at weighing stations or using weigh-in-motion devices. Data collected from the two forms of survey enable one to compute the number of repetitions by axle type
