Abstract

Fiscal constraints can limit the analysis that can be done prior to pavement design. The falling weight deflectometer offers a fast and cost effective solution to obtaining information to assist in these processes. This presentation discusses its use and inputs into the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide Darwin-ME software adopted by INDOT.
