| Abstract | Recent research and development has highlighted the
application of highway pavement deflection and deflection bowl measurements to analyze the structural condition of flexible pavements. Th e present study was used the Benkelman beam to measure surface pavement deflections at
three sections on two rural roads in the outskirts of
Bangkok , Thailand.
Five sets of loading conditions were tested in the
field to examine their effect on the pavement. Axle loads
tested comprised the 8.2-ton standard, one set less than the
standard and three sets greater than the standard. Analysis
was based on elastic theory; properties of the deflection
bowl were related to the overloading condition and
effect of dual-wheels .
Use was made of the
applicability of parameters of the deflection bowl to determine the modulus of elasticity
subgrade of the , and to
evaluate pavement performance from the inter-relationship between parameters. Factors which influence highway pavement deflection were studied in some detail. |
