Vehicle Live Load Calculation (LL):

Vehicle type Considered

in design = 25.5 Tons Rear Triple Axle
(or) 20 Tons per Axle
(or) 200 kN per Axle
As per SPC-CD-08 clause 4.4 (Design Criteria for Roads Pavings and Miscellaneous),
The maximum expected heavy vehicle traffic is from 25.5 Tons rear triple axle vehicles
(25.5 Ton / 3 Axle) = 8.5 Ton per Axle ; Approximately 9 Ton per Axle

It is assumed that there are 4 Wheel per axle

Therefore, load in each Wheel = 100 kN (90 kN / 2 wheel) = 22.5 kN

Use an approximate value of = 100 kN (Axial load per vehicle location)

Impact load
( 30 % of vertical Load) = 30 kN

Therefore total load inclusive of Axial + Impact = 130 kN

Mass (M) = 10000 kg

Min.Speed of Vehicle = 30 km/hr
Assumed Uniform retardation
distance= 50 m

Kinetic Energy = Work Done by Brakes

Velocity (V) = 8.3 m/s

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * MV2

= 347222 Joules

Braking Force = KE / Uniform retardation distance

= -6944.44 N
Use an approximate value of = -6900 N -6.9

(Negative sign indicates that the braking force is opposite to vehicle direction)
