I must be grasping at straws here. I need to save my client some money by using as much overlay as possible, over a car park. The existing pavement has an area where both concrete and asphalt exists (used to be an underground LPG tank there under a huge concrete slab. They excavated the LPG tank...
Can the dolly transfer any weight?
I mean in my case, the prime mover tows a dolly that looks like a mini semi trailer via a gooseneck, which in turn tows a semi-trailer via a gooseneck.
Material will be crushed rock and concrete.
Tank weighs 60 tons. Not sure about the truck. The trailer is indirectly connect to the prime mover via a dolly converter. So I'm not sure if any of the tank's weight can be transferred to the prime mover.
The truck will start from 0 speed, so...
This is somewhat related to another thread of mine. Basically I want a truck to climb a 1 in 3 incline. How can I determine whether it has enough power to do that or not?
I don't even know where to start. I'm a civil engineer, and an undergraduate at that. This is such a special project that...
I have to design testing ramp for military vehicles, but they use a civilian low loader for their tank transporters.
You can see the exact configuration here: http://www.defence.gov.au/jlc/Documents/Cleaning%20Manual/91.pdf
Most other vehicles that will drive on this road are obviously of...
so I'm raising the surface by 0 - 200mm over a large area. Using all asphalt is too expensive, do you think I can just chip off a layer of existing asphalt, throw some crushed rocks on top, then put new asphalt down? I'm asking because I seem to recall that crushed rock only goes beneath asphalt...
I'm a civil engineer, but this issue may be relevant to automotive engineering, so I want to hear your opinion on it.
I have to design a road for a large semi-trailer. In my simulations, the back end of the semi-trailer always snags the ground in sags.
There are 4 rear axles and no front...
