MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113215 A) filed by Kshitij Gaur; and Ashutosh Trivedi on September 22, 2026, for Cyclic Pavement Testing Setup.
Inventors include Kshitij Gaur; Ashutosh Trivedi; and Sanjay Kumar Shukla.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: Described herein is a “cyclic pavement testing setup” that can be used on varied soil types, vehicular loads, and associated methods. The lab-scale cyclic pavement testing setup can be used to evaluate pavement response by inducing real-world loading across the wheel cycles a pavement experiences during its life cycle. Different soil densities and classifications, the effects of various reinforcements, loading and environmental conditions, and stress conditions can be simulated before actually constructing a pavement in the field. The wheel-soil interaction can be determined from the rutting pattern under different combinations of cyclic loading. The setup may apply the full life cycle loading in a comparatively shorter time and controlled environment. This may help testing agencies and laboratorians to rapidly estimate the life cycle of pavements, reinforcement, tyres, and better judgement of load carrying capacity of the pavement system.
