This is a Falling weight deflectometer (FWD) analysis tool for rigid pavement with concrete slab on the top. It has evaluated the state of the practice and state of the art in FWD analysis and interpretation for establishing inputs to be used in mechanistic design.
Character: Pitt FWD is a back-calculation tool that can be used to assess pavement condition quickly and accurately; it applies ME design principles
Developer: Julie M. Vandenbossche
The bonded concrete overlay of asphalt mechanistic-empirical design procedure (BCOA-ME) was developed at the University of Pittsburgh under the FHWA Pooled Fund Study TPF 5-165.
