Road Surface Deflectometer (RSD)
 

.

Road surface deflection is a parameter of pavement structural response and is used to indicate the remaining structural life applicable to the test point.

  
   
 
         
 

Road surface deflection at the test point is measured by the Road Surface Deflectometer (RSD) beam to ascertain deflection.

Road surface deflection is measured by the Road Surface Deflectometer (RSD) beam.


The load used for testing is the standard 18kips (80kN) axle (9kips (40 kN) dual wheel) and the test is performed at creep speed.

 

  
  The encoder reads the distance travelled by the wheel in relation to the test point.

Deflections can be measured to an accuracy of +/-10 microns (0.4mm).

  

Since the data collection is automated, the RSD can be used to obtain the entire surface deflection basin (256 data points per basin).

The RSD can be used in conjunction with a site data acquisition system or through portable interface capable of running off his own battery power or 12V cigarette lighter option.
Data is stored on the coupled laptop computer.
