Common use of Structure loading Clause in Contracts

Structure loading. Increasingly heavy traffic, particularly container traffic, requires properly designed load capacity (maximum axle load). In order to prevent serious damage to road structures, and also to reduce maintenance costs, the Asian Highway network, as an international road network, should have a high design load capacity. The minimum design loading of HS 20-44, which is the international standard corresponding to full-size trailer loading, should therefore be used for the design of structures.
