DEVELOPMENT OF A DATA BASE FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE DEFLECTION TESTING OF PAVEMENTS

Currently the U.S. Army is using a pavement management system called PAVER that was developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). Along with the Army, the American Public Works Association, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force have implemented the management system at several sites. The present system has been developed over several years. The system is centered around a hierarchical data base used to store pertinent information [System 2000 is the data base management system (note that System 2000 is a registered trademark of Intel Corporation)]. Using the data base and interface analysis programs, the user is provided with rapid report generation and analysis of critical information, which allows objective input to the decision-making process. A recent addition to the data base structure is the ability to store nondestructive deflection testing data. The development of the data structure used to store this information and its planned use are described.
