2、ollowing the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method cov
3、ers the making of nonrepetitivestatic plate load tests on subgrade soils and pavementcomponents,in either the compacted condition or the naturalstate,and provides data for use in the evaluation and design ofrigid and flexible-type airport and highway pavements.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI
4、 units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard doe

12、ecommended forpavement design or evaluation purposes.For evaluation purposes alone,asingle plate may be used,provided that its area is equal to the tire-contactarea corresponding to what may be considered as the most criticalcombination of conditions of wheel load and tire pressure.For the purposeof
13、 providing data indicative of bearing index(for example,the determi-nation of relative subgrade support throughout a period of a year),a singleplate of any selected size may be used.4.4 Dial Gages,two or more,graduated in units of 0.01 mmor 0.001 in.and capable of recording a maximum deflectionof 25
