00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.430
A falling weight deflectometer record describes a

2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:05.830
test at a survey point. Treating it

3
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:08.230
like a start-and-end road segment can produce

4
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.990
the wrong explanation and the wrong expectations.

5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.390
The F W D template uses survey

6
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.750
kilometre together with road, lane, date, drop

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.190
number, load and deflection fields. Keep that

8
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.910
test context together when preparing and reviewing

9
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.000
the export. For example, a word entered

10
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.110
in an integer deflection field is a

11
00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:32.550
type error. Missing required values and disallowed

12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.320
declared codes are different findings, each with

13
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.870
a specific correction. Declared decimal precision can

14
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.150
produce warnings. Preserve the instrument units and

15
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.110
original export; a field passing a numeric

16
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:47.110
check does not prove that the physical

17
00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:50.390
units or calibration are correct. Where project

18
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:52.840
references support it, the survey point can

19
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.710
be compared with the network extent and

20
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.390
road geometry. Point-location checks are different from

21
00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:02.150
segment-length checks. The illustrated deflection profile is

22
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.750
explanatory, not a computed pavement design. Do

23
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.310
not read schema conformance as a certified

24
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:12.310
basin shape, instrument calibration or guaranteed structural

25
00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:15.350
capacity. Review the source and the applicable

26
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:16.310
findings.
