The backcalculated moduli agree reasonably well with the laboratory data.
#Backcalculation modulus 6.5 cracked#
Moduli for an uncracked pavement, for pavements having cracks and for a cracked pavement with voids beneath the concrete layer are backcalculated by matching finite-element simulation results to FWD deflection measurements. Specifically, simulation models of a jointed plain concrete in-service pavement were developed following a detailed visual distress survey, coring, and nondestructive evaluation of selected sections. Results of three-dimensional finite-element dynamic analyses of uncracked and deteriorated pavements subjected to a standard falling weight deflectometer (FWD) loading are presented in this paper.
