EFFECT OF OIL FIELD TRUCKS ON LIGHT PAVEMENTS

Oil field traffic is identified and an estimate of increased annual cost associated with a reduced pavement serviceability is determined. The analytic procedure examines the effects of oil well traffic on a light-duty pavement. Evaluation is based on the concept of pavement serviceability developed at the AASHTO Road Test. A reduced pavement service life results in an increased annual cost of a low volume light-duty pavement section.
