The following figure shows concrete pavement with the layer thickness and elastic modulus as indicated. Assume modulus of rupture of 650 psi, load transfer coefficient of 3.2, serviceability loss from 4.5 to 2.5, and drainage coefficient of 0.9. The bedrock depth and loss of support is not considered for the subgrade. Use the design equation or monograph with 50% reliability to solve the following: 1) Determine the number of ESAL that the pavement can carry before failure. 2) If the daily traffic has 1080 single axles (20-kip), 400 single axles (24-kip), and 680 tandem axles (40-kip), and the annul traffic is the same over the design period, how many years would the concrete pavement last before failure?
