Fire apparatus weight distribution and access rd design
(OP)
Would you please tell me what is meant by Fire apparatus weighing at least 80,000 lbs, how much of an axial load does have and how much of it per LF to design the access rd on gravel.
Thanks
Thanks

Also the AASHTO guide will show you how to distribute that load. I don't have it on me -- otherwise I would share that info with you --- but it is your job.

They have no idea if this is load double axle load, and what is load distribution on the front and back what is the width of the tires......
After all the regular roads and street carry these trucks with 6" ABC stones substrata layer with 2" asphalt.
T think this should be the maximum thickness, since this is an emergency turn around hammerhead.
What do you thinks guys.
