Analysis of Section Homogeneity, Non-Representative Test Pit and Section Data, and Structural Capacity. FWDCHECK Version 2.00. Volume 1. Technical Report

摘要

Nondestructive deflection testing using falling weight deflectometers is one element of the monitoring effort currently underway by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) for the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) study. A computer program called FWDCHECK has been developed to analyze deflection data for test section homogeneity, the degree to which test pit data is representative of the section, the presence of data outliers within the section, and overall reasonableness from a structural capacity viewpoint. The report focuses on the FWDCHECK program. The report is provided in three separate volumes: Technical Documentation, User's Guide, and Program Listing. The technical documentation gives a detailed description of the program including the analyses and algorithms used. A detailed description of the program usage is provided in the User's Guide. Finally, a complete printout of the computer source code is included in the third volume, Program Listing.
