Abstract

Prefabricated pavement has been a hot issue in the field of airport pavement in recent years. Due to its strong durability and ease of laying, it has broad application prospects. HWD (Heavy Weight Deflectometer) deflection detection is the main method for airport pavement inspection and can effectively analyze the performance evolution of airport pavement. Existing research lacks specialized technical studies on the inspection of prefabricated pavement. This article analyzes the application of the technology of deflection detection commonly used in airports in a prefabricated manner. By integrating vibration parameter technology, an impact dynamics model was established to calculate the surface structure parameters, and a mathematical transformation model of deflection and vibration was also built. Based on the actual detection situation, a new time-frequency analysis technology is introduced to propose improvement strategies for the detection of prefabricated pavement.
