The analysismay be performed by any of the following methods: iteration,database-searching, closed-form solutions (currently availableonly for two layer pavement systems), and simultaneousequations (using non-linear regression equations developedfrom layered elastic analysis output data). The pr

19、imary empha-sis of this guide will be concerned with the first method;however, many of the ideas pertaining to the use of the iterativeconcept also apply to the other approaches. An iterativeanalysis procedure involves assuming “seed” moduli values fora layered pavement structure, computing the surf

Alternatively, the analysis procedure may in-volve searching through a data base of precalculated deflectionbasins computed from a factorial of known layer moduli andthicknesses until a basin is found that “closely matches” themeasured deflection basin. When analyzing pavementbe

Summary of Guide4.1 A necessary requirement of most over

30、lay or rehabilita-tion design procedures is some measure of the in situ or“effective” structural value of the existing pavement. For years,center-of-load (or maximum) deflection measurements havebeen used to determine the overall structural effectiveness ofthe existing pavement to carry load repetit

The analysis ofindividual surface deflection values and the deflection shape or“basin” represents a technique that can be used to determineseparate estimates of the effective layer properties that collec-tively describe the overall structural capacity of the pavementsystem.4.2 A pavement defle

32、ction basin can be induced by a staticor dynamic surface load. Some pavement materials areviscoelastic, meaning they exhibit elastic behavior at high ratesof loading while viscous flow becomes more significant at veryslow rates of loading. For this reason, layered elastic theory isappropriate for dy

When dynamic loadings areapplied, the resulting displacements registered at each of thedeflection sensors are also dynamic; however, these peakamplitude values do not

34、 all occur at the same time. In a staticanalysis, such as layered elastic theory, these peak dynamicdeflections are analyzed as if they are equivalent in magnitudeto the deflections that would occur if a load of “equal”magnitude had been applied statically.4.3 Layered elastic theory is one of the mo

35、re commonanalysis methods being used in the design of flexible pave-ments and, to a lesser degree, rigid pavements. This guide isprimarily concerned with the use of layered elastic theory tocalculate the layer moduli in flexible pavements. Variouscomputer programs that use some type of deflection-ma

37、overlay design calculations.6The following is a list of some of the backcalculation computer programs thathave been developed: MODULUS, ELMOD, ISSEM4, MODCOMP, FPEDD1,EVERCALC, WESDEF, and BOUSDEF.

39、quasi-staticand dynamic. The quasi-static elastic approaches referred to inthis guide, include the Boussinesq-Odemark transformed sec-tion methods, the numerical integration layered subroutines,and the finite element methods. As a general principle, theselection of a method for analyzing NDT data to

40、 determinelayer moduli should be compatible with the analysis procedurethat will eventually be used for designing the flexible pavementrehabilitation. That is, if a particular layered elastic computerprogram is to be used in analyzing the pavements for rehabili-tation design purposes, the same compu

41、ter program (or itsequivalent) should be used as the basis for determining thematerial properties from nondestructive testing of pavements.Similarly, if a finite element procedure is to be used as a basisfor design, it also should be used for analyzing NDT pavementdata. In summary, it is important t

42、o consistently use the sameanalysis method in both backcalculation and design applica-tions.4.5 The fundamental approach employed in most iterativebackcalculation analysis methods estimating the in situ layermoduli is that the solution initiates at the outer deflectionsensor location(s) to determine

43、 the moduli of the lowestsubgrade layer above the apparent stiff layer, that usually hasan assigned modulus (see Fig. 1). The calculation sequenceprogresses toward the center of the basin using the “known”lower layer moduli and the deflections at smaller radial offsetsto calculate the moduli of the

44、higher layers. This sequence isrepeated in an iterative cycle until a solution is obtained thatnearly matches the calculated and measured deflections. Whenusing the database-searching or Boussinesq-Odemark trans-formed section methods, the sequence may not be the same. Inall approaches, layer thickn

45、esses and Poissons ratios musteither be known or assumed. Although the principles of theseapproaches are applicable to all pavement types (flexible andrigid), some analysis methods are more appropriate for specificpavement types and specific NDT devices.3Also, some pave-ment analysis models are rest

46、ricted to pavement structureswhere the strength of layers decreases with depth (for example,cement-aggregate mixtures could not be modeled below agranular base material).5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide is intended to present the elements of anapproach for estimating layer moduli from deflectio

47、n measure-ments that may then be used for pavement evaluation oroverlay design. To characterize the materials in the layers of apavement structure, one fundamental input parameter mea-sured in the laboratory and used by some overlay designprocedures is the resilient modulus. Deflection analysis pro-

48、vides a technique that may be used to estimate the in situequivalent layer elastic moduli of a pavement structure asopposed to measuring the resilient moduli in the laboratory ofsmall and sometimes disturbed samples. For many overlaydesign procedures that are based on layered elastic theory, theresi

49、lient modulus is approximated by this equivalent layerelastic modulus, because the equivalent modulus is determinedas an average value for the total layer at the in situ stressconditions of an actual pavement.5.2 It should be emphasized that layer moduli calculatedwith this procedure are for a specific loading condition and forthe environmental conditions at the time of testing. For thesemoduli to be used in pavement evaluations and overlay design,adjustments to a reference temperature, season, and design loadmay be required. These adjustments are not a part of this guid
