In-situ structural condition evaluation of pavements

Meer over het boek

The book explores non-destructive testing methods for assessing soils, subgrades, and pavements, highlighting the use of portable equipment like the Falling Weight Deflectometer and German Dynamic Plate. It discusses how stiffness modulus from various tests, including LWD and Schmidt's Hammer, can be correlated to enhance reliability and reduce costs. By establishing effective relationships between these testing methods, the book aims to simplify the prediction of parameters needed for LWD, minimizing the need for extensive experience and reducing expenses.
