Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the approximate method in AASHto 5.9.3.3

The commentary mentions that the approximate method should not be used if the V/S ratio is much different from 3.5 in, how can we quantify the difference? in order to determine if the difference very high or low.

Any insights would be very appreciated!

Thanks!
