    Fayaz Rashid
    This document presents the results of an axle load survey conducted on Pakistan's national highway and motorway network. It analyzes the load distribution across different axle configurations and commodity types. Some key findings include: - Food items and basic manufactures accounted for over 40% of total traffic and had average total loads of 80-82 tons per vehicle. - Mining and quarrying commodities comprised 29% of traffic and had an average total load of 81 tons. - The highest average loads were seen on 6-axle tandem and tridem configurations, which carried over 80 tons on average. - Load distributions and averages varied depending on commodity type and axle configuration but most fell within a

    8.2.13 Damage Factor for Major Axle Configuration on National Highway


    N-10
    As discussed in section 2.5.5, damage factors or load equivalency factors have been
    calculated using following two approaches, i-e AASHTO 1993 and Road Note 40. The
    average damage factors calculated for major axle configuration are presented in
    Table 8-28.

    The average damaging factors at each station along National Highway N-10 are
    tabulated in Table 8-29. The results provide a comprehensive description of locations
    where maximum overloading is being followed and vice versa. The results will help in
    pavement design for rehabilitation and maintenance of existing roadway and for new
    one.

    8.2.14 Tire Pressure Measurements on National Highway N-10


    The tires of overloaded vehicles are over-inflated far in excess of their normal
    pressure. The Consultants site teams have checked tire pressure of each truck
    weighed during the survey. The average tire pressure value of front and rear axles of
    trucks plying on National Highway N-10 is listed in Table 8-30.

    8.3 National Highway N-15


    The National Highway N-15 is located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in the
    north-west of Pakistan, with a total length of 240 km. Its total length is divided into
    175 km in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the remaining 65 km in the Northern areas. It is
    often used as a bypass for the N-35 (KKH) and connects Mansehra with Chilas. N-15
    is also very popular among tourists who visit Naran and the surrounding areas. The
    results of axle load survey performed on National Highway N-15 are discussed in
    subsequent sub-sections.

    The axle load survey data was organized in a way to identify the number of vehicles
    carrying load above and below permissible limits. Furthermore, load spectrums were
    identified and number of vehicles carrying load in specified spectrums were
    calculated. The results are tabulated in Table 8-33. The percentage of trucks for
    major axle configuration carrying load above and below permissible limits is
    graphically presented in Figure 8-20.
