The damage a vehicle causes to the road is not linear but exponential. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) developed the "Fourth Power Law," which states that the damage to the road surface increases with the fourth power of the axle load. This means that if the axle load doubles, the damage caused increases by a factor of 16.
