ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The paper presents the results of research into seasonal coefficients in testing bearing capacity of pavements in Poland with the use of a FWD-Falling Weight Deflectometer and a BB-Benkelman Beam. The deflection measurement method is one of the methods adopted in designing structural pavement in Poland, in accordance with the standard designs in “Flexible and Semi-Rigid Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Catalogue.” Calculation of the real value of deflection of pavement surface involves accurate measuring or assuming coefficients as in a standard measurement. Therefore, it is very important to measure deflection value independently of the season, in the same standard conditions. This is possible to achieve by adopting seasonal coefficients.
