Abstract:

The implementation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) opened the borders to international traffic coming from both Canada and Mexico. As a consequence, highway networks will be subjected to trucks with new axle configurations and heavier axle loads, causing concern on the impact of super-heavy vehicles on highway’s infrastructure. This pooled fund study is aimed at providing tools to address these issues. A software package with the capacity to calculate the pavement distress for flexible and pavements under any type of traffic load, and to make a comparison of the level of distress caused by a standard and a non-standard truck has been developed and reported in the previous reports. In this report, a cost module to estimate the cost of permit for heavy trucks based on the mechanistic analysis is added.
