Back-Calculation of Soil Modulus from PFWD Based on a Viscoelastic Model

To improve the accuracy of back-calculation of soil modulus using the portable falling weight deflectometer (PFWD), a viscoelastic method (VEM) overcoming the limitations of the conventional linear elastic method (LEM) was proposed. A quasi-static dynamic analysis technique of Laplace transformation...
