摘要: |
The characterization of pavements and subgrades by interpreting falling weight deflectometer data is discussed. Two backcalculation strategies--one based on an approximate elastostatic model and the other on dynamic impedance for a two-layered pavement subgrade system--are presented and applied to data collected along experimental pavement sections. Both strategies characterize the structural integrity of a pavement by equivalent asphalt thickness and the stiffness of the subgrade by effective subgrade modulus. It is indicated that, although both procedures predict similar trends, the values of the system parameters differ, particularly the equivalent asphalt thickness. The net pavement-subgrade stiffness predicted using dynamic impedance was found to be consistently higher than that obtained with the elastostatic model for the data studied. The capability of dynamic impedance to identify variations of in situ conditions along a section of roadway is also demonstrated. |
