• Abstract:
  The 1963-64 plan of research for Research Project 2-8-62-321 "Application of the AASHO Road Test Results to Texas Conditions" required the investigation of a system developed by the Lane-Wells Division of Dresser Industries, Inc. for the purpose of recording the deflection of a road surface caused by application of an oscillating load. If the system proved satisfactory Lane-Wells, working under contract with the Texas Transportation Institute was to measure deflections on test sections included in the Phase III testing program of this research project. This report describes the measurement system and then gives the results of the investigation.
