Comparison of PCC Elastic Modulus for Rigid Pavements – Laboratory versus Field

Highways Members Only

Deflections measured using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) device are used to backcalculate the elastic modulus (Epcc) of the concrete slab of a jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (PCP). The two procedures used to estimate the Epcc of the PCP slab from the deflection basins include the AREA method and the Best-Fit...
