Measurement of Pavement Deflections in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Climates
The measurement of the deflection of the surface of road pavements under a standard wheel load is common practice in many countries. The main purpose of making deflection measurements are to assist in the evaluation of the structural condition of roads, and to help in the design of road strengthening measures. In developing countries in the tropics the high road temperatures and other climatic effects necessitate the use of a special technique in making deflection tests. This report describes the techniques adopted by the Overseas Unit of the Transport and Road Research Laboratory for the measurement of pavement deflection in tropical developing countries, and discusses factors relevant to the deflection of road pavements in such conditions.
