Table 3.1 Typical wheel loads for different vehicle types

   Maximum standard Wheel load (kN)
 Car 5 Heavy truck 50 Reach stacker (front wheels loaded) 206
In pavement design with the axle loads of the vehicles it is assumed that there are 2 wheels on each axle.
With heavy loaded vehicles (Reach stackers, airplanes) the amount can rise to 4 or 8 wheels per axle. The number of wheels depends on the maximum axle load.
Table 3.2 Maximum axle wheel loads for different vehicle types
Car 10 Heavy truck 200 Reach stacker (front wheels loaded) 800
      Airplane A380 Take off Airplane A380 Arrival
    280 194
   Kind of vehicle
   Maximum Axle Load (kN)
       Airplane A380 Take off Airplane A380 Arrival
2.240 1.552
  In practice a safety factor is used. The Maximum standard axle load is multiplied by a factor of 2. This means that with a Maximum standard axle load of 100 kN the Maximum axle load that is taken into account in the calculations is 200 kN and the wheel load 100kN.
