  1. The following observations were made of an axle-load survey on a road
    Axle Load (kN)Repetitions per day
    35-45800
    75-85400

    The standard axle-load is 80 kN. Equivalent daily number of repetitions for the standard axle-load are
    1. 450
    2. 480
    3. 800
    4. 1200
Correct Option: D

Equivalence factor
axle load
Standard axle load = 80 kN
Standard axle load

Take average axle load: 40 and 80 kN
Number of repetition =
40 × 800
+
80 × 400
= 800 + 400
8080

= 1200
