Impact of Trunnion Axle Groups on the Performance of Highway Infrastructure
A project sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was carried out at the University of Texas at Austin to determine the impact of trunnion axle loadings on the premature damage of both flexible and rigid pavements, relative to a standard tridem axle configuration. The research found that for flexible pavements, tridem axle are more damaging than trunnion axles; and for rigid pavements, trunion axles are more damaging than tridem axles. For highway bridge structures, the damage caused by a truck with a trunnion axle does not significantly differ from that of a truck with a tandem axle.
