Konteksts: [..] When interpreted by qualified personnel, non-destructive plate tests can directly provide the allowable load for a single wheel at a large number of points on a flexible pavement and the allowable load at the corners of slabs in the case of a rigid pavement. These tests are insufficient to determine the allowable load for aircraft with multiple wheel undercarriages or to serve as the basis for designing a reinforcement, in which case the reverse design method must be adopted. Nevertheless, the plate tests considerably reduce the number of destructive tests required in order to apply a reliable cross-check in the case of flexible pavements and enable the quality of the load transfer to be evaluated in the case of rigid pavements, as explained in the following paragraph.
