18 pavement damage mechanisms, but also the direct damage that may be caused by SHCVs on pavement bases and subgrades. As determined by the results of the survey questionnaire presented in chapter three, several agencies conduct mechanistic pavement analysis for permitting SHCVs, but very few consider direct base and subgrade damage.
