Use of Deflection Basins for the Management of Flexible Pavements
One of the most important concerns of transportation engineers today is the management of existing highways. A successful management program requires, among other things, a method of assessing remaining pavement life. This report presents a method for estimating the remaining life of flexible pavements. The method of predicting remaining pavement life uses the pavement surface deflection basin obtained with a Road Rater. The Road Rater deflection basin is described by means of the surface curvature index (SCI), base damage index (BDI), and base curvature index (BCI). To exclude the effect of environmental conditions on pavement deflection, the deflection basins were corrected to the spring weather conditions.
