Structural moving textbook?
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a textbook on atructural moving? Like for cargo, industrial equipment, houses, etc. thanks
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Check the major logistics companies like Landstar or Logistics Group International.
With the brash assumption that you are in the US, each state has different weight limits and oversize limits for the vehicles and cargo overhang. Some require escorts, some require prior clearance checks and almost all require permits for heavy or oversize hauling.
As for pavement design.... that needs to be checked for heavy equipment or heavy hauling if the route is over anything other than a major interstate highway. I've analyzed pavements for some extremely heavy loads (space shuttle, missiles, construction equipment, etc) and the potential damage and subsidence can be significant.

From now on I'll send you an instant message before I post, so you can see what you are going to say, just before you say it. It'll save you some typing. We've got to quit repeating each others thoughts. Alternatively, if we could both post during even numbered hours in our own time zones we wouldn't be over-typing each other. Thanks for the 'great minds' thought, at least on this end and at this age, I've been getting a little worried.

My understanding is that it is basically statistics with maybe a bit of dynamics thrown in.

Talking about space shuttle pavement, I did a prelim. design on an assembled shuttle transporter and helped with the proposal prep. with one of the aerospace contractors, back in the day. We did not get that contract. But, I did design and build the railcars that transport the solid fuel rocket sections btwn. Utah and the Cape. Those railcars will easily be converted to general heavy duty service (or HWAH, high, wide and heavy service), with the removal of the cradles which supported the rocket cylinders.

My task was to analyze the pavement section for the transporter from the vehicle assembly building to the launch pad, where it went over a vault/culvert structure.
A few years ago I analyzed the pavement for an emergency missile haul route. The missile carrier had a bezillion axles and enough tires to keep Goodyear in business awhile. A superimposed loading nightmare!

I guess I'm just restating the posts of a couple old grey hairs, but the emphasis is justified.
