Nomograph

The document contains equations and figures related to flexible pavement design using the AASHTO pavement design method. It includes equations for calculating design structural number and serviceability loss from variables like resilient modulus, standard deviations, and axle loads. A nomograph is presented to relate these factors for determining pavement thickness.
