    Abstract: During a massive flood or earthquake, the roads are mainly damaged due to the looseness of the subgrades. In recent times for any new constructions of roads and embankments the subgrades mainly constructed with the sand filling. It is difficult to achieve the desired degree of compaction beyond a certain limit. That’s why the bases (subgrades) beco... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents the results of pavement characterization study of a highway by Truck Factor and Axle Load Factor. The study highway is one of Nigeria’s most important corridors linking the South and the North of the country. The Truck Factor obtained is 9.30 Equivalent Standard Axle Loads (ESALs) while the average Load Factor per axle is 3.25 E... Show More
