Environmental Factors Involved in Analysis of Flexible Pavements.

Abstract

In the report repeated load test results for bituminous mixes, granular and cohesive soils are presented. The results of the laboratory tests were used to check theoretical predictions of stress and surface deflection of a three-layer experimental pavement. Field measurements for commercial vehicles loading were obtained over a period of nine months. A study of the impedance method of vibration testing was undertaken; the application of the method to evaluation of existing flexible pavements is reviewed. (Author)
