80 kN ESAL calculation Work Sheet Version 3.

1 4-18-03 Updated 05/10/2006 kaw This work sheet is used for the purpose of calculating the 80 kN ESAL using the "simple" method. These calculations were taken from Figure 4-1 of the NYS Comprehensive Pavement Design Manual (June 2000). Enter the parameters for items 1 through 8 below in the blue blocks. The 80 kN ESAL count is calculated based on a compound traffic growth rate and should be used for SUPERPAVE. Enter data also in pavt. thickness sheet. Print this sheet + pavt thickness + item numbers + special note. P.IN. #: Project Desc.: (cont'd.)

SPECIAL NOTE
ATTENTION
SUPERPAVE HOT MIX ASPHALT, 12.5 mm / 25.0 mm, NOMINAL MAX. SIZE The Contractor should be aware that this is a performance-related specification in which the Contractor is responsible for compacting the pavement within a specified density range. In order to successfully compact the pavement to the specified density range, the Contractor must be prepared to select, operate, and control the paving and compaction equipment, to monitor the results, and to make necessary adjustments (without direction from the Engineer) to achieve the desired results. Written instructions for determining pavement density and core locations are available from the Regional Materials Engineer or the Director, Materials Bureau. The Performance Graded asphalt binder used in the production of SUPERPAVE Hot Mix Asphalt mixtures shall be a PG 64-28 as defined by AASHTO Provisional Standard MP1 - Standard Specification for Performance Graded Asphalt Binder. The mixtures designs should be developed in accordance with the criteria specified in the SUPERPAVE Hot Mix Asphalt Items that is appropriate for an "Estimated Traffic" level of <30 "Million 80 kN ESALs". Under no circumstances shall the Performance Graded Binder content be less than 5.6% for a 9.5 mm design, less than 5.0% for a 12.5 mm design, less than 4.3% for a 19.0 mm design or less than 4.0% for a 25.0 mm design. When crushed gravel is to be used in the production of SUPERPAVE Hot Mix Asphalt mixtures, the minimum percent of crushed particles shall be as follows: for particle sizes greater than 12.5 mm, 75% one crushed face; for particle sizes between 12.5 mm and 2.36 mm, 85% two crushed faces.
