2Schematic of Load Deflection
3FWD Load Plate Sensors
4Hogg Subgrade Modulus
5Composite Pavement Modulus
Eo (1.5 a ?o) / do
Eo composite modulus of the entire
pavement system beneath the load plate
a radius of FWD load plate ?o
(peak) pressure of FWD load under the plate
do (peak) center FWD deflection reading
636 AREA
A36 6 ? 1 2(d12/d0) 2(d24/d0) (d36/d0)
A36 36 if perfectly rigid (E1
infinity) A36 11.04 if E1 E2 (assuming no
bedrock) For forwardcalculation purposes,
only works well for rigid pavements
712 AREA
A12 2 ? 2 3(d8/d0) (d12/d0) A12 12 if
perfectly rigid (E1 infinity) A12 6.85 if E1
E2 (assuming bedrock) For
forwardcalculation purposes, only works well for
flexible pavements
8Forwardcalculated Modulus of PCC Layer
EPCC Eo ? AFPCC ? k3(1/AFpcc) / k32.38 where
AFPCC function of A36 and k3 constant
9Forwardcalculated Modulus of AC Layer
EAC Eo ? AFAC ? k3(1/AFac) / k32 where AFAC
function of A12 and k3 constant
