Analysis of Nondestructive Test Data on Flexible Pavements Acquired at the National Pavement Test Facility
This paper discusses the evaluation of the NDT and other test data with respect to:
- Description of the FAA's new backcalculation software, FAA Backcal.
- Linearity in pavement response and backcalculated subgrade modulus with applied HWD force.
- Comparison of the stiffness of conventional and stabilized base pavements on different subgrades.
- Relationship between in situ California Bearing Ratio and backcalculated subgrade modulus.
- The effect of stiffness of underlying layers on backcalculated subgrade modulus.
