IMPACT OF 44 000-KG (97,000-LB) SIX-AXLE SEMITRAILER TRUCKS ON BRIDGES ON RURAL AND URBAN U.S. INTERSTATE SYSTEM
The impact of a 44,000-kg (97,000-lb) tridem semitrailer truck on bridges on the urban and rural U.S. Interstate system is examined. The impacts are determined using a suite of models developed for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) policy use, and both agency and user costs are estimated. Bridges on the Interstate system that are already deficient at current loads are excluded from this analysis, which utilizes the National Bridge Inventory database and reports results for the rural and urban Interstate systems.
