MULTIPLE-WHEEL HEAVY GEAR LOAD PAVEMENT TESTS. VOLUME III, PART B. PRESENTATION AND INITIAL ANALYSIS OF STRESS-STRAIN DEFLECTION AND VIBRATORY MEASUREMENTS. DATA AND ANALYSIS

Flexible and rigid pavement test sections were constructed and tested to gain information on pavement and soil behavior under large aircraft loadings. These test sections incorporated instrumentation systems designed to deteermine the response of the pavement structures of static, dynamic (slowly moving), and vibratory loads and to traffic by full prototype loadings. This volume covers data reduction, analysis, and the findings of the instrumentation and vibratory testing programs; Appendixes A and B contain details of instrumentation measurements for flexible and rigid pavements, respectively.
