SHEAR LOADS OF PAVEMENTS

Stress analysis of pavements is often based on normal loads alone; however, there are shear loads that should not be ignored. This paper considers two sources of applied shear stresses, those produced by a pneumatic tire under a vertical load and those caused by a component of the total load parallel to the surface of contact, generally considered horizontal.
