Vibration set up in concrete pavements by vehicles are, for most part, at right angles to line of travel of vehicle; intensities of vibrations are function not of weight of vehicle but what may be called torsion set up in concrete by grip of tires on surface; wide tires are more destructive to surfaces than those of lesser dimensions; surfacing of roads indicates efficient breaking of grip of tires on surface and therefore reduces strains within slabs or base.
