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

Highway engineers are facing the challenge not only to design and construct sustainable and safe pavements properly and economically. This implies a thorough understanding of materials behaviour, their appropriate use in the continuously changing environment, and implementation of constantly improved technologies and methodologies. Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII contains more than 100 contributions that were presented at the 7th International Conference ‘Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements’ (7ICONFBMP, Thessaloniki, Greece 12-14 June 2019). The papers cover a wide range of topics: - Bituminous binders - Aggregates, unbound layers and subgrade - Bituminous mixtures (Hot, Warm and Cold) - Pavements (Design, Construction, Maintenance, Sustainability, Energy and environment consideration) - Pavement management - Pavement recycling - Geosynthetics - Pavement assessment, surface characteristics and safety - Posters Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII reflects recent advances in highway materials technology and pavement engineering, and will be of interest to academics and professionals interested or involved in these areas.

This report presents guidelines for selection of asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements for rehabilitation, collection of distress data, recognition of AC/PCC pavement distress modes, nondestructive deflection testing, materials sampling, and overall project-level evaluation. Key condition indicators (distress, rutting, roughness, serviceability, and CRS) were examined to address their usefulness in AC/PCC rehabilitation project selection. Critical levels for these indicators were identified, and available prediction models were investigated for use in rehabilitation programming. The project-level evaluation procedure includes guidelines for field and laboratory data collection and analysis for structural evaluation, functional evaluation, drainage evaluation, and AC surface material evaluation. A procedure was developed for backcalculation of AC/PCC pavement layer elastic moduli from deflection measurements, and guidelines were developed for practical interpretation of the backcalculation results. The recommended evaluation procedure relies on conventional testing and evaluation methods (visual surveying, deflection testing, coring, materials testing, etc.). New technologies (e.g., ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography) are developing which have potential for use in pavement evaluation. These technologies are also reviewed in this report.

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, describes development of nondestructive testing techniques that are capable of detecting and quantifying delaminations in HMA pavements. This NDT technique is applicable to construction, project design, and network-level assessments. This e-book contains 5 different volumes, the last 4 involving more technical descriptions of the project.
