NTRC Axle Load Survey on National Highway & Motorway Network of Pakistan

FINAL REPORT

8.7.3 Load Spectrum by Axle Configuration on National Highway N-45

The axle load survey data was organized in a way to identify the number of vehicles
carrying load above and below permissible limits. Furthermore, load spectrums were
identified and number of vehicles carrying load in specified spectrums were
calculated. The results are tabulated in Table 8-93. The percentage of trucks for
major axle configuration carrying load above and below permissible limits is
graphically presented in Figure 8-52.

8.7.4 Rear Axle Load Spectrum (Single) on National Highway N-45

The damaging effect of front axle on pavement structure is negligible. The rear axles
including single, tandem and tridem have significant effect on the road deterioration.
The spectrum of rear axle loads (single) for all axle configurations is presented in
Table 8-94.
