AC Pavement Design for Fire Truck Loads
AC Pavement Design for Fire Truck Loads
(OP)
I have a fire marshall that is asking me to make sure my design of an AC roadway will handle the loads of a 70,000 fire truck. The road is an alley, so the pavement section is only 3 inches of AC over 4 or so inches of AB. I have had this question come up before, but I had a concrete pavement section. How do you design an AC roadway based on a Load not a TI and the R-valve of the soil?

Remember that pavement design is fatigue based. Since fire use is infrequent, it would ultimately factor very little into a pavement design. It would have significantly less effect than say, a garbage truck.
