Title: CALCULATION OF THE ELASTIC MODULI OF A TWO-LAYER PAVEMENT SYSTEM FROM MEASURED SURFACE DEFLECTIONS
Abstract: THIS REPORT GIVES THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND A DESCRIPTION OF A NEW COMPUTER PROGRAM, ELASTIC MODULUS II, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF CONVERTING DEFLECTIONS MEASURED BY THE DYNAFLECT ON THE SURFACE OF A HIGHWAY PAVEMENT-SUBGRADE (TWO-LAYER ELASTIC) SYSTEM TO THE ELASTIC MODULI OF THE PAVEMENT AND SUBGRADE. INCLUDED IN THIS PAPER ARE THE SOLUTIONS OF SEVERAL TYPICAL PROBLEMS. THE COMPUTER PROGRAM MAY EVENTUALLY BECOME A PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN SYSTEM NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
