The investigation was made to determine (a) whether unsprung vehicles used for construction and agricultural purposes are likely to cause more damage to roads than sprung vehicles and (b) whether reduction of tyre inflation pressure would reduce the damage. Measurements were made of the vertical pressure generated in the soil subgrade beneath the road, as this is known to give an indication of the damage to the road structure. (Author)
