Standing Committee on Pavement Structural Testing and Evaluation
AKP40
This committee is concerned with the structural testing and evaluation of pavement systems. Information obtained from these tests are used to characterize individual pavement layers as well as to determine overall pavement performance through direct pavement response measurements, modeling, correlation, and other methods. Testing and evaluation includes the use of falling weight deflectometers, traffic speed deflection devices, and full-scale accelerated pavement testing.
