An equivalent axle load factor (EALF) defines the damage per pass to a pavement by the axle in question relative to the damage per pass of a standard axle load, usually the 18-kip single-axle load. Pavement design parameter. ^ (Removed!)

Used for Pavement Design and This is Changing.
An equivalent axle load factor (EALF) defines the damage per pass to a pavement by the axle in question relative to the damage per pass of a standard axle load, usually the 18-kip single-axle load.
The design is based on the total number of passes of the standard axle load during the design period, defined as the equivalent single-axle load (ESAL) and computer by
repetitions of each axle load group during the design period.
