A Study on FWD Deflection Bowl Parameters for Structural Evaluation of Flexible PavementBy Ujjval J. Solanki
Abstract: The application of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is to evaluate structural condition of the pavement. The exercise of backcalculation is required to identify the modulus of elasticity of existing in service pavement. The process of backcalculation required in depth field experience for the input of range of modulus of elasticity of bituminous, granular and subgrade layer, and its required number of trial to find such matching moduli with the observed …

Smart Urban Traffic Management SystemBy Ujjval J. Solanki
Abstract: In recent years, the ownership of private vehicles has increased many folds, which is causing difficulty in management of urban traffic. Traffic management is the focus area for most urban dwellers and planners. Some of the main concerns for traffic management of big cities is traffic congestion and avoidance, as these issues cause huge damages on both personal and environmental level. Moreover, in many cities traffic signal lights at crossing …

A Review on Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements using Falling Weight DeflectometerBy Ujjval J. Solanki
Abstract: For rehabilitation design processes, the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design approach relies heavily on the material stiffness, back calculated from the deflection measurements taken from existing pavements. These measurements are typically made using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) or Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) units. In order to provide high quality and consistent material stiffness data for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design the deflection results obtained at radial distance in between 0 and 1800 …
