Abstract:

Superheavy loading vehicles, commonly referred to as superloads, exhibit non-standardized loading configurations along with high gross vehicle weights and axle loadings, all of which may cause unexpected distresses on Iowa road infrastructure systems compared to those caused by conventional vehicle class types categorized by the Federal Highway Administration. Superloads encompass various types of vehicles, including implements of husbandry and superheavy loads, prevalent in the Midwestern region of the United States. The determination of critical load factors affecting road damage due to superloads is intricate due to their non-standardized loading configurations and high loading capacities.
