Comparison of wide base single tyre and dual tyre with different factors using heavy vehicle simulator
Source abstract
Abstract
Different literatures have compared the use of dual wide base and new generation wide base tyres. The use of different tyres has mixed performance in literature. The NCAT study suggests there is no difference in the performance of the wide base and dual tyre. The University of Illinois study and Virginia test section suggests that the wide base tyre causes more damage than the dual tyres. The present study compares the use of dual and wide base single tyres. Three different temperatures of 15, 30 and 40°C, three different loads of 9, 12 and 15 kips* (62, 82.7 and 103.4 MPa) and two materials were selected. Finally, the design of experiment using factorial design was performed to determine the critical factors affecting the strains in the pavement. Significant differences in strains were found at low temperature but at higher temperature minor differences in strains values were found.
