• Abstract:
  The purpose of this research was to determine the impact on pavements and ; roadbeds due to the increase in truck traffic from oil and gas fracking activities, ; as well as from expansion of the wind energy industry, and estimate the resulting ; reduction in roadway service life for typical two-lane KDOT roadways. In addition ; to KDOT roadways, this research can also be used as a proxy for county-level or ; other local jurisdiction-level paved roadways.
