Statewide Flexible Pavement Performance and Deflection Study
An interim report on a statewide flexible pavement performance and deflection study is presented. Data representing the present status of various projects comprising a total of 25 different structrual sections with varying levels of traffic and pavement deflection are briefly discussed. Charts and tables are also presented. Studies to evaluate pavement performance, deflection attenuation properties of various roadway materials and radius of curvature of various highway pavements by the Dehlen 'curvature meter' are also discussed. Contrary to the findings presented in the last interim report, pavement deflections continue to decrease after the pavement has reached an age of four years probably due to traffic compaction and AC curing. It is reported that preliminary computer analyses indicate that accumulative 5000 pound equivalent wheel loadings are the most significant variable in predicting pavement distress. (BPR Abstract)
