Fatigue damage ratios for heavy vehicles operating in the southern part of Malaysian Peninsula

Abstract

In this study, fatigue damage ratios caused by different types of heavy vehicles operating in the southern part of Malaysian Peninsula were developed. More than 6 million heavy vehicles’ traffic volumes and weights were collected from 3 Weight-In-Motion stations located at Tangkak, Yong Peng, and Sedenak. Through the analysis, an average fatigue damage ratios for each heavy vehicles types were developed to be used in flexible pavement design and rehabilitation purposes. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015.
