TEST ROLLING AS A TOOL IN PAVEMENT EVALUATION

THE TECHNIQUE DEVELOPED AND USED BY THE COMMONWEALTH DEPARTMENT OF WORKS IS DESCRIBED FOR THE EVALUATION OF AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS USING DRAWN PNEUMATIC-TIRED TEST ROLLERS. THE METHOD INVOLVES THE VISUAL ASSESSMENT OF THE DEFLECTION OF A PAVEMENT UNDER LOAD, AND THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE METHOD BY WHICH THE PAVEMENT IS CATEGORIZED INTO AREAS OF DIFFERING BEHAVIOR. THE RESULTS OF THE TEST ROLLING ARE THEN SUPPLEMENTED BY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM TEST HOLES LOCATED IN AREAS SELECTED TO REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF OBSERVED PAVEMENT BEHAVIOR. /AUTHOR/RRL/
