1 Impact of Wide-Base Tires on Pavement and Trucking Operation: Advanced Analysis Imad L. Al-Qadi Founder Professor of Engineering Illinois Center for Transportation Why Dynamic Analysis Is Needed? Quasi-static analysis: Does not consider mass inertia and damping forces Dynamic analysis: Considers mass inertia and damping forces Pavement responses are loading-time dependent Focus Point Primary objective of this part of the presentation is to investigate flexible pavement dynamic responses due to moving loads of dual-tire assembly and wide-base tire. 1

Pavement Actually Subjected to a Moving Wheel Load Continuous loading amplitude Simulation of moving wheel load Surface Tangential Stress Effect Significant variance in strains at shallow depth The effect diminishes as the depth increases 11

12 Conclusions Flexible pavement responses are affected by pavement designs,, tire characteristics, applied load, temperature, and vehicle speed. Critical shear strains within depth are significantly higher than the tensile strain at the bottom of. Tangential surface stresses may affect the prediction of top-down cracking, primary rutting, and occasionally fatigue damage.
