The sensitivity, robustness and efficiency of the compared three methods are first analyzed using a numerical example, and subsequently, the proposed method is validated with the field measured deflections by FWD as inputs, where the squared errors between the field measured and back-calculated deflections are investigated. Comprehensive comparison is conducted among the presented method and two widely used closed-form back-calculations called ILLI-BACK and NUS-BACK, respectively. The closed-form solution procedure of the HD-BACK is proposed and a corresponding numerical calculation MATLAB program is developed for this purpose. The HD-BACK adopted simplified calculations and leads to easy application, in which the deflection information of each sensor of FWD (Falling Weight Deflectometer) is used, and the principle of back-calculation is to minimize the sum of the squared errors of the measured deflection basin. This paper presents a solution of back-calculation analysis of rigid-pavement parameters using the barycentric horizontal distance of deflection basin, called HD-BACK.

We also provide other add-ons-from GPS integration to split loading plates-that narrows collected data for specialized analysis. Our truck- or -trailer-mounted deflectometers record accurate data at exceptional speeds, especially when paired with our Ground Penetrating Radar tools and SMARTCAL geophone calibration. JILS provides American-made Falling Weight Deflectometers and Heavy Weight Deflectometers.

We also sell the testing equipment to these markets for entities who prefer to keep their testing in-house. Our firm provides direct testing, analysis, and design of asphalt and concrete in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, South America, and Europe.
