153 Superheavy Commercial Vehicles (SHCV) Permitting Practices 111 / 253 Q7: Define super heavy non-divisible loads in terms of the amount of work (number of days or man- days) required to break them down into smaller shipments (select from drop menu): Other (please describe below): Our definition of loads that are non-reducible for weight is shown below. To be considered an extraordinary load ("super heavy"), the GCVW of the vehicle and non-reducible load would exceed the pre-approved threshold for its requested route (typically either 64,000 kg or 85,000 kg): âNon-reducible loadâ, for overweight permits, means any load or vehicle exceeding applicable weight limits that, if separated into smaller loads or vehicles, would: a) Compromise the intended use or destroy the value of the load or vehicle; b) Require more than 8 hours to dismantle using appropriate equipment. c) Result in the vehicle being greatly underweight if one component were removed, where the load consists of only two large components, and the total weight being permitted does not exceed 3,500 kg. In addition, up to two unattached additional pieces which belong to a component or machine (e.g., buckets, blades, C frames, rippers, etc.) may be transported on the same vehicle and the combined load will still be considered non-reducible, provided that: the gross combined weight of the load and vehicle does not exceed the preapproved weight rating (64,000 kg except as shown in section 6.3.4) on any portion of its approved route. Note that BC also has a definition of 'non-reducible' for size. Our answer to #9 is 100 kg/cm (the field will only accept the number portion of this response).

155 Superheavy Commercial Vehicles (SHCV) Permitting Practices 113 / 253 Q17: If "other" is selected in defining SHCVs, please describe below: Exceeding a certain GVW and/or exceeding a certain load by axle group as a function of axle spacing and/or exceeding the pre-approved weight threshold for its requested route. Maximum permittable weight for axle groups is 9100 kg/single, 17000 kg/tandem and 28,000 kg/tridem (29,000 kg with no booster or a single axle booster), with spacings that do not break Bridge Formula. Bridge Formula is 30 x wheelbase (cm) + 18,000 kg = Maximum weight. A vehicle combination with compliant axle group weights and spacings would be considered an extraordinary load (a "super heavy" load) if its GCVW exceeds the pre-approved weight threshold for its requested route (typically 64,000 kg or 85,000 kg). Maximum permittable weight for axle groups is 9100 kg/single, 17000 kg/tandem and 28,000 kg/tridem (29,000 kg with no booster or a single axle booster), with spacings that do not break Bridge Formula. Bridge Formula is 30 x wheelbase (cm) + 18,000 kg = Maximum weight. A vehicle combination with compliant axle group weights and spacings would be considered an extraordinary load (a "super heavy" load) if its GCVW exceeds the pre-approved weight threshold for its requested route (typically 64,000 kg or 85,000 kg). Q18: Does your jurisdiction: Offer electronic processing of SHCV permit applications? No Allow oversize SHCVs that require more than one lane to move? Sometime Allow multiple trips with one SHCV permit? No Restrict SHCV movement during certain times of the year, e.g., spring thaw? Yes Coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions in providing SHCV permit uniformity across borders? Sometime If you selected "Sometime" in one of the questions above, please explain: Extraordinary loads over 6.0 m wide or 4.88 m high (5.33 m in one region of BC, the Peace River Region) require signoff by Ministry of Transportation representatives in each district through which it intends to pass, and by RCMP and utility companies along the requested route. Where possible, we align our commercial vehicle regulations and permitting policy with other Western Canadian provinces, and are guided by federal (TAC) standards. However, our terrain is generally more mountainous that our neighbours and that does lead to exceptions. PAGE 14: SHCV Operation PAGE 15: SECTION C: Pavement Analysis for Issuing a SHCV Permit
156 Superheavy Commercial Vehicles (SHCV) Permitting Practices 114 / 253 Q19: Does your jurisdiction require detailed analysis of the effect of Superheavy loads on pavements as part of the permit issuing process? It depends, It "It depends", please explain: Our bridge analysis engineers involve the geo- technical branch for pavement considerations on requests that are unusually heavy or where there is some unknown factor on the requested route that would be of interest to the pavement engineers. Q20: Who performs the pavement analysis? My Department Q21: What type of pavement analysis method is used to evaluate the impact of Superheavy loads. A State-developed mechanistic or other method., If State or Other method, please specify: AASHTO 1993 Pavement Design Guide using ESALs computed from tables/equations as well as TAC Guidelines using ESALs computed from tables/equations Q22: Please specify the following pavement analysis details: Do you use representative layer thicknesses for an entire selected route? Sometimes Do you use representative pavement layer moduli for an entire selected route? Sometimes Do you use a representative subgrade modulus for an entire selected route? Sometimes Do you consider seasonal variations in pavement layer moduli? Sometimes Do you consider seasonal variations in subgrade modulus? Sometimes If you selected sometimes in one of the questions above, please describe the circumstances: All depends on length of route, knowledge of pavement structure along these routes, and the number of regional boundaries the route crosses. It will depend on the historic records or information we have on the routes as the type of pavement analysis that we are capable of doing. It also depends on the time frame we have to complete the analysis as a more detailed and sophisticated analysis requires more time than sometimes we are given.
