Investigation of Heavier-than-Expected Vehicle Weights Observed in the Vicinity of the Savannah Port Area and their Impact on Georgia’s Pavements and Bridges and Rate of Statewide Asset Degradation 

The primary objective of Part A of this project is to investigate the impact of heavy vehicle traffic on pavement and bridge structures in Georgia. The main objective of Part B of this project is to evaluate pavement and bridge structures using weigh in motion (WIM) data, conduct field investigations, and evaluate the reliability of existing pavement and bridge structures.
