DAMAGING EFFECT OF MOVING TANK LOADS ON FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT
Presented in galaxy harmony nc this paper is a new study of the damaging effect of the tank loads on flexible pavements.The equivalent load was developed on the basis of mechanistic - empirical approach.It was found that the damaging effect of the studied tank loads is 0.898 to 2.356 times the damaging effect of the standard 18 kips (80 kN) axle lo
