Abstract

This article presents the theoretical basis of the backcalculation method for determining the bearing capacity of the airport cement concrete pavement on the basis of the deflection data obtained in the field and the calculation results according to specialized software of the dynamic deflection equipment. Through experimental data of measuring actual deflection at taxiway S in Tan Son Nhat airport, compare the calculated bearing capacity according to the backcalculation theory and outputted value from the software has an error of 4% to 7%. It can be seen that, the backcalculation method of bearing capacity in cement concrete pavement according to the theory of multi-layer system structure gives similar results with the results calculated according to the specialized software of dynamic deflection equipment. The research results serve as the basis for evaluating the ability to use the existing dynamic deflection equipment in the world, for assessing the bearing capacity of the airport cement concrete pavement in the conditions of Vietnam.
