Estimating ESALs for construction road

Estimating ESALs for construction road

Estimating ESALs for construction road

(OP)
I've never done any road design and I'm curious how one would go about estimating the ESALs for design of a construction road.

What kind of load designation is a common dumptruck used in construction?  How does that equate to ESALs?  What about load designation/ESALs for a semi-truck?

So, basically, if I know how long construction will take and how many trucks will travel the road each day, then I can get an estimate for ESALs?

Also, I was just wondering what an ESAL value for a typical concrete truck might be.  Any help?
