Various Departments of Transportation in the South-Central States and elsewhere have made extensive use Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) surface deflection bowl data. The falling weight deflectometer (FWD) test is a popular NDT-based used by transportation authorities to evaluate performance flexible pavement. Nevertheless, it rare develop method for evaluating pavement sections using FWD data fro...

Abstract— This paper concentrates upon a new stabilization for nonlinear time-delay systems via the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model approach. At first, we represent a nonlinear timedelay system as a kind of neutral-type TS fuzzy systems with a block delay. And then, we propose a new fuzzy weightingdependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (FWD-LKF), which directly includes the fuzzy weighting fun...

There are no existing local design manuals and construction guidelines for reinforced earth structures in Kenya. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance pavement found on sections along Outer Ring Road. structural evaluation determined from deflection measurements using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), while functional by visual condition survey, roughness, rut depth meas...
