• Abstract:
  The primary purpose of this research study was to develop and test procedures for making accurate estimates of the total load in terms of 18-kip axle equivalents that a highway will experience from cargo vehicles over its design period. Such an endeavor involved an evaluation of vehicle weight and classification count data previously collected at existing loadometer and manual count stations located throughout the State of Texas.
