Abstract

This paper aims to establish a correlation between two test methods made for roads, which could lead to greater efficiency in economic terms. The road structure dimensions in the art of communications routes can be made at least in two ways based on the deflectometer test with Benkelman beam, or, analytical, involving the test by the plate bearing. The two types of tests were performed on the Ghimbav –Brasov runway airport, in the same position, on the stabilized ballast layer by 10 to 10 meters alternately on both sides of the runway to 10 meters away from the center line. Each row of test points was evaluated separately because of the execution technology, the different time periods of execution, and the runway gradient. The best value was achieved that the best standard deviation corresponding and was found as a second-degree polynomial.
