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

This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of accelerated pavement testing (APT), presented at the 6th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing, in Nantes, France, in April 2022. Discussing APT, which involves rapid testing of full-scale pavement constructions for structural deterioration, the book covers topics such as APT facilities, APT of asphalt concrete and sustainable/innovative materials, APT for airfield pavements, testing of maintenance and rehabilitation solutions, testing of smart and multi-functional pavements, data analysis and modeling, monitoring and non-destructive testing, and efficient means of calibrating/developing pavement design methods. Featuring peer-reviewed contributions by leading international researchers and engineers, the book is a timely and highly relevant resource for materials scientists and engineers interested in determining the performance of pavement structures during their service life (10+ years) in a few weeks or months.

This report documents the research performed on evaluation of pavement deflection equipment under Contract DTFH61-85-C-00115 for the Federal Highway Administration. The following devices were included in side-by-side field tests conducted in the Austin, Texas area during the week of August 11, 1986: the Benkelman Beam, C.E.B.T.P. Curviameter, Dynaflect, Dynatest Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), Kuab FWD, Phonix FWD, and the Road Rater. The report includes descriptions and comparisons of the devices through information obtained from a literature search, field tests and user survey conducted for this study. The side-by-side test program was performed over a broad range of pavement structures, including thick and thin flexible and rigid pavements, and composite pavements. The measured deflections were compared statistically. Mechanistic interpretations of the measured deflection basins were made and compared.

This project is the most comprehensive single undertaking to date which is directed toward an evaluation of the validity of concepts of nondestructive evaluation of the load-carrying capacity of airfield pavements. Seven nondestructive test devices tested five sections of airfield pavements at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB) which consisted of two rigid, two flexible, and one composite pavements, ranging from 20-in. portland cement concrete (PCC) to 5.5- in. asphaltic concrete. Analytical treatments of the test data included empirical correlation analyses, and layered-elastic and finite element computer analyses. Six private firms each with a different nondestructive testing (NDT) evaluation method provided evaluation results in terms of allowable aircraft loads and overlay thicknesses. The Air Force produced one set of results using its new nondestructive pavement testing method, and Waterways Experiment Station provided three sets of results. This study has shown that NDT technology exists for evaluation of airfield pavements. For the pavements at MacDill AFB, some NDT evaluation methods agreed better with the standard test-pit method than others. However, the pavements at MacDill AFB are rather nontypical, and those NDT evaluation methods that did not give good results at MacDIll may give more agreeable results on different pavements. The lack of agreement between results of the NDT evaluation methods does justify concern and may point to the need for a standard evaluation method.
