Heavy duty riveted gratings are a good alternative for applications that often employ other deck systems, if they carefully analyzed under static and fatigue loads. Understanding the behavior of steel tire patch loads will aid in establishing design model based on an effective beam width. In addition, use system avoids welded details may lead to cracking, thereby improving life. this study, ana...

Emissions from the road transport sector are a major contributor to climate change. Commonly used heavy vehicles powered by diesel engines emit toxic and harmful compounds that adversely affect environment. For this reason, increasingly newer Euro emission standards being introduced. Therefore, performance of heavy-duty in transportation processes diverse loads was investigated. The first resea...
