ESAL Determination for WB-50 Classification
ESAL Determination for WB-50 Classification
(OP)
I have a project for a temporary construction road based on 19 months of traffic consisting of WB-50 vehicles (semitrailer combination). How do I determine the ESALs for this temporary road to determine a pavement thickness? My recommendation to the client was a gravel road, however, they are pushing for an HMA surface with base course. Any help would be appreciated.
