    The document provides calculations to determine the equivalent single wheel load (ESWL) for a dual wheel assembly carrying 2044 kg on each wheel at different pavement thicknesses. It calculates the total load, center-to-center spacing, and tire width and plots points on a log-log graph. It then reads the ESWL values at pavement thicknesses of 15, 20, and 25 cm as 2760 kg, 3000 kg, and 3230 kg respectively.

    ASSIGNMENT – I

    PROBLEM:-
    Calculate ESWL of a dual wheel assembly carrying 2044 kg each for pavement
    thickness 0f 15, 20 and 25 cms. Centre to centre tyre spacing = 27 cm and distance between the
    walls of the tyres=11cm.

    SOLUTION:
    Given datas:
    Each wheel load,P = 2044 kg.
    Centre to Centre Tyre Spacing,S=27cm.
    Distance between walls of tyres, d=11cm.
    Hence;
    2P= 4088kg
    2S= 54cm
    d/2=5.5cm

    X and Y points are plotted on a log- log graph between ESWL and pavement thickness.
    X has coordinates ( P, d/2 )=(2044,5.5)
    Y has coordinates (2P, 2S) = (4088, 54)

    On the X- axis , points corresponding to pavement thickness of 15, 20 and 25 cms are
    marked and vertical lines are drawn from these points to intersects the line XY. Horizontal lines
    are then drawn from these points on line XY to meet the Y- axis , to obtain the corresponding
    ESWL values at these pavement thickness. ESWL values thus obtained are-

    Pavement Thickness ESWL(in kg)


    15 2760
    20 3000
    25 3230
