Improved Data Acquisition for Instrumented Flexible Pavements Reinforced with Geosynthetics
Flexible pavement design is currently evolving from a qualitative design procedure, based on road test data, to a mechanistic-empirical design procedure. To support the upcoming standard of design, a data acquisition plan has been developed for a full-scale field test to be performed on a heavily instrumented flexible pavement with 13 test sections. The data will be utilized during a finite element analysis to generate design charts for flexible pavements reinforced with geosynthetics. The data acquisition plan developed during this study is designed to minimize the collection of unnecessary data and post-processing effort by using independent trigger mechanisms in each test section. Prior to full-scale construction, a pilot-scale study was employed to determine and verify the critical program acquisition parameters and test the trigger mechanism. Additionally, the data acquisition hardware and software code generated for this application were evaluated. The objective of this paper is to describe the results of the pilot-scale study, outline the overall data acquisition methodology, and highlight the key programming challenges.
