INVESTIGATION OF PAVEMENT

ROAD
BENKELMAN BEAM (BB) TEST
TO CONSIST :
• PRESURE with specific load (standard load is
abolished/ diketahui nilainya) with media pneumatic
wheel, against (terhadap) of layer pavement system.
• During is loadding, the vertikal movement is analysed
and recorded (usually for ready pavement/
perkerasan yang sudah jadi)
• The Meaning :
• To find deflection data from load to pavement
system is used to value pavement system (research ,
technique design, implementation & maintenance)
 Checking Method :
• Measuring Static Rebound Deflection
• ORIENTATION MEASURING :
• - Assessment structural pavement
• - Compared characteristic structural
pavement
• - Prediction of pavement performance.
• - Design technique (overlay, thickness
pavement)
 Important Term :
• Load Center : point at surface pavement exactly is below
behind axle load line (di bawah garis sumbu gandar belakang)
& exactly in the middle dual wheel checker truck / ban ganda

• Deflection : Vertical displacement / movement surface
condition due to load impact.
• Maximum Deflection : Maximum vertical movement road
surface due to load impact.
• Rebound Deflection : Vertical rebound deflection road surface
is impacted there isn’t load / nothing laod.
• Residual Deflection : Dispute/selisih between maximum
deflection and rebound deflection.
• Partial Deflection : dispute between maximum & deflection at
load center point 0,30 – 0,40 m from contact point Benkelman
Beam bar.

 Deflection Point of Survey :
• Considered unted
d = :2 (d3 – d1). ft. C

• By :
d : Rebound deflection (mm)
d1 : Initial deflectian
d2 : Between deflection
d3 : Finish delection
C : Factor influence soil water (C = 1 critic & C=
1,5 non critic)
ft : Adjust temperature factor t1, dengan
t1 = (tp + tt + tb)/3
 Phase Counting of Overlay Design :
• Rebound deflection Method :
• 1. Determine AADT / LHR
• 2. Determine accumulative traffic design / LL rencana (total
lane, vehicle type) (table, page 10)
• 3. Count total accumulative average daily from equivalent
18 KIP (8,16 ton) single axle load from each vehicle type
with suitable factor (table, page 41)
• 4. Determine design life factor (table 43)
• 5. Determine traffic accumulative during design life

until truck trailler}
• 6. Basicly AE 18 KSAL, inputing to graph is given

3. Determine residual life of road (n) in years
n = {Log (2 N + 2/R +1) – Log (2/R +1)} /
Log (R +1)
