Book Description
This report documents the results of one FIS technology transfer initiative: the demonstration of nondestructive pavement evaluation technology (NDT) to cooperating Federal and non-federal partners. The demonstrations utilized Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) technology, a commercially available nondestructive procedure for determining the structural adequacy of a pavement system. Data obtained from FWD tests were combined with pavement material properties and estimated future traffic volumes to design rehabilitation strategies for the existing streets and roadways of three communities. The specific objectives of the study were to: (1) Evaluate and develop improvements to the initial guide specification used for contracting FWD technology; (2) Evaluate the three analytical methods used by each contractor to develop the pavement repair strategies; (3) Document and explain the differences in the results of the pavement evaluation methods; (4) Document the benefits of FWD technology over other conventional techniques; and (5) Transfer nondestructive testing of pavements technology to non-federal partners, and demonstrate how analysis of the test results can be used to develop rehabilitation strategies for roadway pavements.

Nondestructive Testing of Pavements and Backcalculation of Moduli
Author: ASTM Committee D-18 on Soil and Rock. Subcommittee D-4 on Road and Paving Materials
Publisher: ASTM International
ISBN: 0803118651
Category : Fatigue
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
The proceedings of June 1993 international symposium held in Atlanta, Georgia, called specifically to develop and standardized evaluation procedures for non-destructive methods of testing pavements. The 29 papers discuss analytical models and techniques, measurement and calculation techniques in the field and laboratory, problems and errors associated with backcalculation methods and design parameters, and testing for other pavement uses. Also includes a history of the quest for a standard and the status of that effort. Reproduced from typescripts. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Evaluation of the Soniscope for Nondestructive Testing of Portland-cement Concrete Pavements
Author: George M. Pace
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Pavements, Concrete
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
The report presents the results obtained from the soniscope instrument for use in the nondestructive testing of portland-cement concrete pavements. Essentially, the instrument was tested to determine if consistent velocity measurements could be obtained with the transducers in a position vertical on the prestressed, reinforced, and plain concrete pavements. Also, of interest during the investigation was the maximum distance through portland-cement concrete for which consistent velocity measurements could be obtained. (Author).

Using Nondestructive Testing Technologies to Assist in Selecting the Optimal Pavement Rehabilitation Strategy

Pages : 9
Book Description
A comprehensive evaluation of pavement condition and an understanding of the underlying causes of pavement distress is vital in selecting the optimal rehabilitation strategy. Three projects were investigated in this study to demonstrate the application of nondestructive testing technologies in this election process. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Falling Weight Deflectometer(FWD), and Dynamic Cone Penetrometers (DCP) were successfully used on these TxDOT projects. GPR was employed successfully to locate defects in the hot mix surface layer that were responsible for the chronic distress on US 69.This roadway was rehabilitated previously but the strategy used had not addressed the root cause of the pavement problem. FWD and DCP data were also used to determine the structural capacity or layer moduli of the pavement system that allows the designer to derive the overlay thickness. Coring and trenching were utilized to verify the defects detected in the GPR data. The advantage of nondestructive testing is that it provides a comprehensive evaluation of sub surface conditions throughout the entire project, not only at locations where coring and trenching are performed. Furthermore, GPR was employed to verify a rehab design of an old JCP pavement on SH 73. Originally, the plan called for pressure grouting to fill the subsurface voids. However, GPR found no voids under the JCP slab; this was validated in subsequent coring. Therefore the GPR results helped district personnel to eliminate the cost of the pressure grouting. For comparison purposes, GPR results from IH 45 and US 82 (where there were voids under JCP slabs) were utilized.
