ASTM D 4695-03 Standard Guide for General Pavement Deflection Measurements

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved Dec. 1, 2003. Published January 2004. Originally approved in 1987. Last previous edition approved in 1996 as D 4695 – 96. 6 p. This guide provides procedural information for measuring pavement surface deflections, directly under, or at locations radially outward (offset) from a known static, steady-state, or impulse load. Deflections are measured with sensors that monitor the vertical movement of a pavement surface due to the load. This guide describes procedures for the deflection measurement using various deflection testing devices and provides the general information that should be obtained regardless of the type of testing device used.
