DYNAFLECT TESTING FOR RIGID PAVEMENT EVALUATION

This report presents the development of a user's manual of Dynaflect testing for rigid pavement evaluation. The influence of environmental factors, Dynaflect position, and pavement characteristics on deflections and other sources of errors are discussed as they relate to rigid pavements. Guidelines and specific procedures are also described for determining sample size and application of the Dynaflect deflections to material characterization, void detection, and load transfer evaluation.
