MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF TRUCK TIRE PRESSURES ON TEXAS HIGHWAYS

Field data indicate that truck tire pressures on Texas highways are increasing. Implications of this increase are important in terms of increasing damage to roadway pavements, particularly flexible pavements. The methodology used in field data collection is described, along with data analysis by variables such as vehicle classification, axle load, commodity being hauled, and tire construction.
