The calculated dynamic deformation moduli (Evd) <strong>of</strong> the subgrade, base, <strong>and</strong> HMA<br />

surface versus the size <strong>of</strong> the loading plate <strong>of</strong> the instrument from the LWD tests result are<br />

shown in figure 4.46. The test results show that the Evd values decreased from the HMA surface,<br />

the RAP base <strong>to</strong> the subgrade.<br />
