Determination of Equivalent Axle Loads for Minnesota Flexible Pavements.

摘要

The traffic phase of Minnesota's AASHO Road Test satellite study consisted of an attempt to determine the total traffic load experience which each of the 58test sections in the project was subjected to since its construction. Extensive traffic studies were performed in 1964and again in the 1969-1971period to obtain the required data. The traffic loading,in terms of equivalent 18,000-lb. single axle loads was required so that a correlation with other structural and performance data could be made. This correlation was part of the development of a new flexible pavement design procedure.
