This handbook dicussess tyre-road contact forces generated by heavy
vehicles covering their influence on road surface and bridge
response and damage, as well as ways of regulating and improving
vehicles so as to minimize road damage.;The main incentive for
understanding vehicle-road interaction is the possibility of
reducing the road damage caused by heavy vehicles and the very high
associated costs. This may be achieved by highway authorities,
through improved design and construction of roads; by government
agencies, through regulations intended to encourage the use of more
"road-friendly" vehicles; or by vehicle engineers, through design
of improved vehicle configurations and suspensions, which minimize
road damage.;The book provides a unified mechanistic approach to
the entire subject, covering vehicle dynamics; dynamic tyre forces;
weigh-in-motion; pavement and bridge response; damage mechanisms of
paving materials; vehicle-guideway interaction; suspension design
to minimize road damage; and assessing road damaging potential of
vehicles for regulatory purposes. It includes 25 literature
reviews, covering topics from asphalt deformation to
weigh-in-motion, and citing over 500 references. In addition, it
discusses both the fundamental mechanics of the mechanical and
civil engineering systems, as well as practical and implementation
issues.
