ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FROM THE DYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS PROGRAM ON THE SAN DIEGO TEST ROAD AND DISCUSSION

THE STARTING POINT WAS THE OPINION THAT IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO PREDICT BY MEANS OF THEORY THE PERTINENT STRESS, STRAIN, AND DEFLECTION RESPONSES DUE TO WHEEL LOADS, A VALUABLE STEP COULD BE TAKEN IN THE EFFICIENT DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF PAVEMENTS AND THE ECONOMICAL UTILIZATION OF PAVEMENT MATERIALS. AN EFFORT WAS MADE TO DETERMINE THE TYPE OF CORRELATIONS THAT CAN BE EXPECTED BETWEEN THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS AND OBSERVED MEASUREMENTS AND, MORE IMPORTANT, TO DETERMINE IF THE PREDICTED OR MEASURED RESPONSE CORRELATED WITH OBSERVED PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE. /AUTHOR/
