Evaluation Of The Residual Load-Bearing Capacity Of The Existing Road Using Plate Loading Test

Abstract In the last few years as road construction budget has been decreasing in Latvia, number of reinforcement design and objects increasing. At beginning project development existing condition is assessed, taking into account various pavement evaluation criteria it determined on which sections possible to reinforce where full required. The structure Latvia developed using “Recommendations for design. Pavement” inaccurately defining bearing capacity foundation can significantly affect service life designed structure. During road, establishing that lower than specified incurs additional costs customer. Project changes are made, special solutions provided order achieve mineral material layers defined project. One most accurate ways determine structural static plate test. However, results this test also not 100% any them may give unreasonable due influencing factors. aim work analyze by determining important factors obtained load-bearing values, identify biased/erroneous results, reflect residual
