The following data is obtained from an axle load survey at a site:
Average rear axle load = 12000 kg and Number of commercial vehicles = 800 per day. The pavement at this site would be reconstructed over a period of 5 years from the date of survey. The design life of the reconstructed pavement is 15 years. Use the standard axle load as 8160 kg and the annual average vehicle growth rate as 4.0%.
Assume that Equivalent Wheel Load Factor (EWLF) and Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) are equal. The cumulative standard axle (in msa) for the pavement design is _______. (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
