Overloaded vehicles greatly affect the service life of road pavements. Overloaded road conditions will break down faster and require high handling costs. Budget constraints and the absence of preparation to repair road damage faster than the planned life are obstacles in road repairs. With such conditions, an appropriate strategy is needed for road repair. This study aims to make a program strategy for handling road maintenance due to overload load. The approach taken is to survey road conditions and make predictions of changes in road conditions for 10 years. The survey results and road condition predictions will be used to develop road handling strategies. The analysis method in this study is to predict changes in road conditions for 10 years using the Highway Development and Maintenance (HDM) method. Then to make a road handling scheme using the preservation method with a long segment scheme, namely road handling according to road conditions good, fair, poor and very Poor categories. The results of the analysis show that with the road handling program scheme, it can maintain the road in good condition. The strategy to maintain the Surabaya-Legundi city limit road section for 10 years can be done by carrying out road handling in the form of routine handling, rehabilitation and reconstruction in accordance with the condition of the damage obtained from the predicted road damage conditions. With this handling scheme, it can maintain good road conditions. If the road is not carried out the handling scheme, the road will experience a condition of damage with a category of very Poor and will cause more handling with the type of reconstruction handling.

Overloading commercial vehicles where the truck has an axle load of more than 8 tons is very sensitive to road design life. This study aims to simulate the effects of overloading commercial vehicles on road design life. The approach taken in this study is to compare normal traffic conditions with overloading commercial vehicles. The data collection method is carried out for 3x24 hours by identifying the vehicle axle load, especially for commercial vehicles. The method of analysis is carried out by calculating CESA5 for each of the normal and overload axle load conditions. Then compare the age of the road pavement under normal conditions with the age of the road pavement when there is an overloading of commercial vehicles. The results showed that under normal load conditions, the life of road pavement construction can reach 20 years, but if the commercial vehicles are overloaded, the road pavement construction will only last up to 5.5 years. This means that with the condition of overloading commercial vehicles, the road will be damaged quickly and the construction life will be 27 % of the design life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
