An Analytical Investigation Of Aashto Load Equivalencies, Herbert F. Southgate

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

An objective of this study was to develop procedures and/or refined relationships between Kentucky ESALs and AASHTO ESALs. Kentucky load equivalency relationships are the result of mechanistic analyses based on elastic theory. AASHTO load equivalency relationships were developed from recorded empirical data collected at the AASHO Road Test. Comparison of Kentucky and AASHTO ESALs necessarily in depth analyses of AASHTO load equivalency equations C-19, D-19, and their developmental equations given in the 1972 AASHTO Interm Guide. These equations evolved from the basic format used in analyzing AASHO Road Test data.

In this investigation, the repetitions reported in Appendix A of …
