Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Interface

GPR Monitoring System for Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement

To evaluate the condition of asphalt pavement road, two GPR systems with different frequency band were mounted in the trailer type vehicle. The GPR system with higher frequency band was used to measure the thickness of the asphalt layers and the other system with lower frequency band was used to detect the air cavity located beneath the asphalt pavement.

Evaluation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Surface Mixtures

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction , operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of ...

Investigation of Clay Balls in Asphalt Pavement

Clay ball is a pavement surface defect which refers to a clump in which clay or dirt is 8 mixed with hot asphalt mixture. Clay ball is typically caused by a combination of aggregate 9 contamination of clay or soil, high aggregate moisture, and low production temperature at the 10 asphalt plant. It usually appears a few weeks or months after paving under traffic load, after being 11 liquefied an...

Laboratory Evaluation and Pavement Design for Warm Mix Asphalt

For many years, the asphalt industry has been aware of the energy savings and environmental benefits inherent in cold mix or warm mix asphalt technologies. Environmental awareness and the need for improved energy efficiency has increased rapidly over the past few years and extensive measures such as the air pollution reduction targets set by the European Union under the Kyoto Protocol have enco...
