Excessive truck loads threaten Iowa concrete highways
A Iowa State College engineer warns that the life of about 5,000 miles of concrete pavement is endangered by loads beyond legal limits. Prof. M G Spangler says 8,000 pounds per wheel is the economical top, and repeated 8,000 to 10,000 pound stresses will crumble slabs, necessitating costly repairs. Taxpayer investment in highways is about 120 million dollars. He describes pavement as an elastic fatigue-prone material dependent on subgrade, slab thickness, and concrete quality.
