Poisson's ratio can be assumed without much error on the predicted deflections. The following range of Poisson's ratio are suggested for use in elastic layer analysis: Material u Asphalt Concrete 0.30 0.40 Limerock Base 0.30 0.40 Sand-Clay Base 0.35 0.40 Stabilized Subgrade 0.35 0.40 Subgrade 0.35 0.45 15. Compare measured with predicted deflections; adjust layer moduli to match measured deflections, as required.
