“…Abed and Al-Azzawi (2012) noted that because of the change of material properties, the rutting depth increased in the leveling and base courses, but the stress level decreased in those layers. Salama and Chatti (2008) investigated the relative rutting damage of different axle types and truck configurations to the hot asphalt mixture. The trucks with wide single-wheel axles increase causing the pavement sensitive to the surface layers' creep, and wide single axles are more combative than dual wheels.…”
