Folks,
Does anybody have experiences in heavy load aggregate surface pavement design?
I have a site, portion of which will be used as storage area and is proposed to be developed as aggregate surface pavement. The subgrade materials is pretty soft/loose, the CBRs of which are on the order of 4. The anticipated tire load is about 200 kips, much more than what AASHTO and other design guides provide.
I am exploring the option of using aggregate surface pavement for this heavy load. Otherwise, I will have to use other types of pavement sections.
Thanks.
