Response of Iowa Pavements to a Tracked Agricultural Vehicle, HR-1075, Phase II, 2000

The overall objective of the work summarized in this report and in the interim report was to study the effects of targeted implement-of-husbandry loads. This report is to complement phase I of this work, which was summarized in the interim report, entitled Response of Iowa Pavements to Heavy Agricultural Loads (December 1999). The response of newly constructed Portland cement concrete (PCC) and asphalt cement concrete (ACC) pavements under semitruck, single-axle single-tire grain wagon, single-axle dual-tire grain wagon, tandem and tridem tank wagons were summarized in the interim report. Phase II of this project, presented herein, was to complete the study in terms of how tracked agricultural vehicles relate to the reference 20,000-pound single-axle semi-truck. In this report the response of these two pavements under a tracked grain wagon is documented.
