Author Description

The main objectives of this research study are: •To develop a pavement structural strength index (SSI), scaled logistically from zero to a 100, based on the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) deflection measurements, •To formulate SSI in such a manner to be used as an index or employ the value of “100 – SSI” as a deduct value from pavement distresses surface index, and •To develop models by which the SSI could be estimated given functional class, age, and drainage condition wherever deflection measurements are not available.
