Abstract
A series of superloads were scheduled to depart from the Waterloo, IA area for a location near Mason City, IA. Given the magnitude of the expected loads (600,000 to 900,000lbs), the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Bridges and Structures requested that the Iowa State University Bridge Engineering Center (BEC) assist them in assessing the load carrying capacity of the most critical bridge along the scheduled route. Incorporating field data into the RISAT also enhanced its reliability and applicability to pavement management practices, providing engineers and planners with valuable insights for informed decision-making regarding pavement design, maintenance, and rehabilitation strategies.
