BBD studies were carried out on a highway pavement at a temperature of 40°C. The rebound deflection was found to be 1.41 mm. what would be the corrected rebound deflection?

BBD studies were carried out on a highway pavement at a temperature of 40°C. The rebound deflection was found to be 1.41 mm. what would be the corrected rebound deflection? Correct Answer 1.36 mm

The correction for temperature is to be applied, as in the question the test temperature is 40°C, but the standard is 35°C. So, the correction to be applied is negative and it is taken as 0.01 per degree. Corrected Dc=Dc+(Standard temperature-field temperature)×0.01 Corrected Dc=1.41+(35-40)×0.01=1.36 mm
