NY State Pavement Design

[Commodos]

Does anyone know New York DOT requirements for frost regarding freeze/thaw for pavement section design. That is to say, what is the frost depth and how thick a pavement section should be (for example 1/2 or 1/3 the frost depth). Thanks

You should guess that was the first thing I did...called NY DOT. Did not get someone on the phone at the time; that was why I posted here for help. Thanks Mr. Cornelius!!!
