Abstract
Overloading is one of the major factors for the pavement deterioration. Overloading mainly occurs, as truck owners have a tendency to gain more profit with the same investment and modern trucks are capable of handling very heavy load. To reduce the effect of overloading different government agencies have prescribed the value of maximum allowable load limit, which must be obeyed by all the truck operators and truck owners. In the present study, Weight in Motion method is used for the axle load survey. Pavement condition rating is also done as per IRC: 82– 2015. Axle load Spectrum is generated with the help of axle load study. Based on the Axle load survey, stress – strain analysis is done with the help of ANSYS software. Based on the Stress, strain and deformation value damage analysis for different vehicle class has also been performed. In the present study, stretch of SH – 60 (Lingda to Samrkha via Bhalej) is selected for the overloading study
