Question 1

What is the Fixed Traffic method primarily based on?

  • Single heavy wheel load
  • Multiple axle loads
  • Constant traffic volume

💡 Hint: Think of what 'fixed' means in this context.

Question 2

True or False: The Variable Traffic and Vehicle method requires equivalent factors for each axle load.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Focus on how modern methods differ from older ones.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the ESWL using the Boyd and Foster method for a dual tire assembly with a total load of 5000 kg and a center-to-center distance of 35 cm, at a depth of 30 cm.

💡 Hint: Make sure to keep units consistent throughout.

Question 2

You are given three axle groups with legal loads of 60 kN, 80 kN, and 100 kN, expected repetitions of 3000, 1000, and 500, respectively. Calculate the ESAL for these groups.

💡 Hint: Use the relationships defined in the section to guide your calculations.
