In current practice, the evaluation of the performance of existing road pavements has
become a priority issue for many highway engineers. To make appropriate rehabilitation and …

This study investigated traditional and new approaches for predicting airfield pavement
responses from surface deflections measured under Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) …

This report describes the efforts undertaken to review the status of falling weight
deflectometer (FWD) equipment, data collection, analysis, and interpretation, including …

Vibrations induced by traffic are of concern for road authorities due to disturbance on the
population, and the damage of buildings and structures. In the field of pavement …

A dynamic time domain method was developed to backcalculate the layer moduli, damping
ratios, and thicknesses of asphalt pavements from dynamic falling weight deflectometer test …

The dynamic analysis has been successfully used to predict the pavement response based
on the finite element modeling, during which the stiffness and mass matrices have been …

This paper introduces a frequency-domain back-calculation program, BKGREEN, that can
be used to determine the elastic modulus for each pavement layer. The pavement is …

A new backcalculation program, DYNABACK-VE, was used to backcalculate pavement layer
properties with field data. DYNABACK-VE used a time domain viscoelastic dynamic solution …

The dynamic backcalculation of pavement layer properties, and more specifically the ability
to determine the asphalt concrete master curve, using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) …

The methodology behind the current mechanistic-empirical design of jointed concrete
pavements (JCP) is not very sensitive to the properties of the foundation layers of a …
