Abstract
This paper studies the correlation of non-destructive pavement test devices, the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and Benkelman Beam (BB), in evaluation of pavement structure capacity. Field measurements were made at an expansion highwayG6 in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. Based on the deflection results measured with FWD and BB, the relationship between FWD and BB was established. The subgrade moduli of the test section were back-calculated. The results show that the ratio of E(sta) and MR(dyn) is consistent with the suggestion of AASHTO 1993. Due to the fact that the use of FWD test is convenient and the results are stable, it demonstrates that the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is an appropriate device to evaluate the pavement structural and to select the optimal pavement rehabilitation strategy in the near future.
