Teljekoormus on sõiduteede ja raudteede projekteerimisel oluline konstruktsiooniline kaalutlus, kuna mõlemad on projekteeritud taluma maksimaalset teljekoormust, kuna maksimaalse nimiteljekoormuse ületamine kahjustab sõiduteed ja raudteed.
Axle load is an important design consideration in the engineering of roadways and railways, as both are designed to tolerate a maximum weight-per-axle (axle load). Exceeding the maximum rated axle load will cause damage to the roadway or railway tracks.
