  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open it in the editor.
  2. Begin by entering the project location, date, and project number at the top of the form. This information is crucial for identifying your specific project.
  3. In the 'Asphalt Surface Course' section, assess the load associated cracking and select the appropriate factor based on your observations. Fill in the 'From' and 'To' fields to indicate mile or station representation.
  4. Next, evaluate the average age of layer combinations and estimated air voids. Choose the corresponding factors from the provided options and document them accurately.
  5. Proceed to calculate the total structural layer coefficient. If applicable, remember to multiply by 0.70 for pre-1990’s Grading F.
  6. For base layers, repeat a similar process: identify factors based on your assessment and fill in any necessary details regarding mile or station representation.
  7. Finally, use the 'Remarks' section to document any additional notes or observations that may assist in component analysis before submitting your completed form.

In the AASHTO design method, the traffic load is determined in terms of the number of repetitions of an 18kips (18,000-lb or 80 kilonewtons (kN)) single- axle load applied to the pavement on two sets of dual tires. This is usually referred to as the equivalent single-axle load (ESAL).
The drainage coefficient is often assumed to be 1, although quick-draining layers that almost never become saturated can have coefficients as high as 1.4 while slow-draining layers that are often saturated can have drainage coefficients as low as 0.40.
There are two basic systems of pavement design presently in use in this country. These are mechanistic systems and empirical systems. A mechanistic system employs the theories of engineering mechanics and mathematics to analyze the pavement structure.
3.2. The group index approach is used to design flexible pavement. It is an empirical method that is based on the physical properties of the subgrade soil and does not take soil strength into account. The essential statistics required for the GI technique are the group index and traffic volume.
From the AASHO Road Test, equations were developed which related loss in serviceability, traffic, and pavement thickness.

Under the current design guide, the structural capacity of each pavement layer is represented by a layer structural coefficient (ai) that is intimately related to the fundamental mechanical properties of the material.
Some typical layer coefficient values are: Hot mix asphalt 0.44. Road mix (low stability) 0.20. Aggregate base 0.13.
