Session 648
Recent Studies on Tire Load, Tire Pressure, and Pavement Damage
Wednesday, January 12, 2005, 10:15 AM - 12:00 PM, Shoreham
Fouad M. Bayomy, University of Idaho, presiding

Sponsored by:
Flexible Pavement Design Committee (AFD60)

Note: How does the pavement community deal with heavier loads and higher tire pressure? We measure, quantify, and analyze.
