• Abstract:
  On November 29, 2006, Fugro Consultants, Inc. (Fugro) initiated falling weight
  
  deflectometer testing on US 90 in Harrison County, Mississippi.
  
  This testing was performed in general accordance with our Work Authorization proposal
  
  dated November 2, 2006, which was authorized by the Mississippi Department of Transportation
  
  on November 8, 2006. Additionally, the investigation was conducted in accordance with the
  
  terms and conditions contained in our Master Professional and Consulting Services Agreement.
  
  Based on the limited availability of pre-existing structural capacity data, this testing was initiated
  
  with the understanding that direct comparisons of the impact of Hurricane Katrina and associated
  
  flooding could also be limited. The importance of keeping water out of pavement structures is
  
  fairly well documented (Ref. 1 & 2); however, it is believed that the data collected under this
  
  investigation should (at the very least) serve as a suitable benchmark for what the structural
  
  capacity of the route tested was (within 14 months of the flooding) anticipating that accelerated
  
  deterioration of this route is to be expected (Ref. 3).
