The following data is obtained from an axle load survey at a site:

Average rear axle load $=12000 \mathrm{~kg}$
Number of commercial vehicles $=800$ per day

The pavement at this site would be reconstructed over a period of 5 years from the date of survey. The design life of the reconstructed pavement is $15$ years. Use the standard axle load as $8160 \mathrm{~kg}$ and the annual average vehicle growth rate as $4.0 \%$. Assume that Equivalent Wheel Load Factor (EWLF) and Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF) are equal.

The cumulative standard axle (in $\mathrm{msa}$ ) for the pavement design is $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$ (rounded off to $2$ decimal places).
