SOLUTION

Concept:

IRC Class AA Loading

Two different types of vehicles are specified under this category grouped as tracked and wheeled vehicles. The IRC Class AA tracked vehicle (simulating an army tank) of 700 kN and a wheeled vehicle (heavy duty army truck) of 400 kN

All the bridges located on National Highways and State Highways have to be designed for this heavy loading. These loadings are also adopted for bridges located within certain specified municipal localities and along specified highways. Alternatively, another type of loading designated as Class 70 R is specified instead of Class AA loading.
