This comprehensive textbook covers all aspects of pavement engineering. The content takes into account new developments and includes both the recently completed European norms …
The objective of this paper is to assess the potential use of the geogauge and the light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) as quality control/quality assurance (QC∕ QA) devices for …
Light weight deflectometers (LWDs) are increasingly being used in earthwork QC/QA testing to provide rapid determination of elastic modulus, which is an essential input for mechanistic …
With the coming move from an empirical to mechanistic-empirical pavement design, it is essential to improve the quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) procedures of compacted …
Field and laboratory testing programs were conducted to evaluate the potential use of the light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) device for measuring the in situ elastic modulus of …
The surface urban transport infrastructures, which are interpreted widely herein to encompass roads, cycle ways, pedestrian areas and railway foundations, are supported by …
Currently, the design of flexible pavements is generally conducted based on static properties such as California Bearing Ratio and soil support value. These properties do not represent …
To evaluate the compaction of unbound geomaterials under unsaturated conditions and replace the conventional methods with a practical modulus-based specification using LWD …
The use of Lightweight Deflectometers (termed LWDs in Europe, and occasionally PFWDs in the USA) for construction quality control or material investigation for road construction has …
