12.6 Flexible-Pavement Design Methods (U.S. Practice) 523
where
t = design thickness (in.)
P = single-wheel load (lb)
A = measured tire contact area (in. 2 )
In 1959, the equation was modified to account for load repetitions and multiplewheel
configurations. The modified equation employed the concept of an equivalent
single-wheel load (ESWL):
1/2 ESWL
t = f
(12.12)
8.1(CBR) − A/π
