Abstract

Measurements of stress and deflection in flexible pavements of realistic design have been made under pilotscale conditions over a wide range of wheel loads, speeds and temperatures, and similar tests have also been carried out on a simple concrete slab. Results are presented showing the effects of temperatures and wheel load on the measured behaviour and this is compared with that predicted from multi-layer elastic theory using data derived from both laboratory and in-situ testing.
