    This document discusses the design of both flexible and rigid pavements. It provides information on Foster and Ahlvin influence charts for vertical stresses and deflections. It also discusses types of axle loads and provides an example of calculating equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) for a flexible and rigid pavement. Additionally, it outlines steps from UK Road Note 29 for determining thicknesses of layers in flexible pavements like sub-bases, bases, and surfaces. Finally, it presents AASHTO nomographs for determining slab thickness in rigid pavements.

    The document discusses different methods for computing equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) and determining pavement thickness for both flexible and rigid pavements.

    Single axle load and tandem axle load are the two types of axle loads mentioned. A single axle load has wheels with a distance more than 1m apart, while a tandem axle load has two or more consecutive axles between 1m to 2.44m spacing.

    UK Road Note 29 mentions four steps - determining thickness of sub-base layer, rolled asphalt roadbase thickness, dense macadam roadbase thickness, and lean concrete/soil-cement/cement-bounded granular roadbase thickness.

    Foster and Ahlvin Influence Chart for Vertical Deflections

    Types of Axle Loads


    Single axle load: wheels with distance more than 1 m apart Tandem axle load: two or more consecutive axles between 1 m to 2.44 m spacing
    Problem: Compute the ESAL of this truck on a flexible pavement with SN=4 and terminal PSI pt = 2.5.
