Step 1 - Determine the total pavement thickness.
The subgrade is classified as F-3 because the PI is greater (>) than 12. Using an 83.8 gear
load, the total pavement thickness for a Type B area is 44" (Figure 13-21).
Step 2 - Determine the thickness design.
Step 3 - Add compaction requirements and draw the final design profile as for temperate design.
