EVALUATION OF BACK-CALCULATION AND PERFORMANCE MODELS USING A FULL SCALE GRANULAR PAVEMENT TESTED WITH THE ACCELERATED LOADING FACILITY (ALF)

In this paper performance of a granular pavement tested with the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF) is predicted. The analysis is complemented by material data back-calculated from pavement deflections obtained with the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and the Benkelman Beam (BB) and by material data obtained from laboratory repeated load triaxial testing.
