Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學系 === 85 === The way which uses the steady-state deflection indices to evaluate pavement strength belongs to the pavement evaluation system. So far the three indices---the Dynaflect Maximum Deflection ( DMD ), the Surface Curvature Index ( SCI ), and the base Curvature Index ( BCI ), have been frequently used to formulate the criteria to evaluate pavement strength qualitatively. For the impulsive deflection indices, those rules may not be the same. This study is, thereby, motivated to develop impulsive deflection indicThe outcome of this study indicates that the impulsive deflection indices developed in this study are not as same as the steady-state deflection indices. It is concluded that there is apparent relation between the W7 index and the subgrade strength, so is the relation between ( W1 - W4 ) index and the subgrade strength. Besides, the prominent index which is the most interpretable index to the pavement strength capacity is concerned with the type and the total thickness of the pavement. As the pavement totalPavement remaining life is the main consideration of pavement strength capacity in this study. When pavement remaining life is less than two years, the section is viewed as weak. Therefore, the criteria of indices are concerned with the in-situ subgrade strength and the traffic demand. As the traffic demand changes, so does the criteria of the prominent index to the pavement strength capacity change. It is more reasonable and thorough. The output of flied example evidences that these results discovered by this study is as practical as worthful.
