Determinations Regarding Deflexion Values Generated By Road Timber Transportation

Abstract

This paper analyses the road complex bearing capacity for a gritted forest road. For this purpose, on the Pravat forest road, five homogeneous measuring sectors were sampled, where the elastic deflections were determined, in accordance with the current normative, by using a Benkelmann deflectometer. The obtained results indicated an insufficient and non uniform bearing capacity across the road, and as remediation, supplementary consolidation of the actual road structure by adding one more road layer was suggested.
