This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current non-nuclear methods of measuring asphalt pavement density use electrical properties of asphalt. Two known instruments, the PaveTrackerTM and the PQI Model 300, estimate pavement density by inferring the relative proportion of air-filled voids in the asphalt from a measure of dielectric permittivity. Under this project, currently available and new methods of determining in-place asphalt density were investigated. The investigation included a laboratory study of the PaveTrackerTM's ability to accurately measure density under a variety of conditions, including coarse or fine aggregate in mix, presence of internal and/or surface moisture, sample area, and sample depth. Both the PaveTrackerTM and the PQI Model 300 were evaluated in the field by measuring density of measurement locations at each of 24 project sites and comparing to corresponding values measured by a nuclear gauge and laboratory tests. Recommendations for practice, including expected payoff results in using them, are given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The developments of nuclear asphalt content gages were reviewed and gage operation and use were studied in the laboratory to determine significant parameters that may affect nuclear gage results. Two Troxler Model 2226 Asphalt Content Gages, serial Nos. 307 and 308, were used in this study. Parameters investigated were (a) asphalt content; (b) moisture content; (c) aggregate gradation; (d) interactions of (a), (b), and (c); (e) sample size; and (f) sample temperature. Precision and accuracy experiments were conducted. These included (2 sup n) factorial experiments and stepwise multiple linear regression analyses of the results. Asphalt content determinations equaling or bettering those of the conventional extraction technique were obtained in considerably less time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of new aggregate sources to Louisiana in the mid 1980s has presented problems in asphalt concrete mix design and construction. This study evaluated the operation and performance of the nuclear asphalt content gauge as a replacement for existing methods to reduce test time and eliminate the use of hazardous solvents. The variation in test results between centrifuge, reflux and the nuclear asphalt content gauge was evaluated for one week's production at six asphalt plants. Three batch plants and three drum plants were examined. Moisture content for the correction of nuclear content results was determined using both a microwave and the ASTM D1461 distillation method. Cold feed gradations were compared to extracted gradations from the samples tested for asphalt content. The pooled standard deviations for the nuclear asphalt content gauge were similar to the reflux extraction results regardless of plant type with the batch plant deviation slightly lower than the drum plant.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using a nuclear asphalt content gauge test procedure to measure the amount of asphalt in a bituminous mixture. A part of the vacuum and reflux test requires a moisture determination must be made; otherwise water extracted is shown as asphalt. Two advantages of using nuclear asphalt content gauges are: 1. Chemicals used in the vacuum extraction and moisture tests are very corrosive and consequently hazardous to handle. 2. The two procedures evaluated are simple and require less time than conventional procedures. Using these procedures may allow laboratory personnel more time for other duties. Results indicate the testing accuracy of the nuclear asphalt gauge when the temperature and density of the test specimen is controlled is at least as good as the vacuum or reflux extraction test procedure."--Technical report documentation p.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Density is an important component of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement quality and long-term performance. Insufficient density of an in-place HMA pavement is the most frequently cited construction-related performance problem. This study evaluated the use of electromagnetic gauges to nondestructively determine densities. Field and laboratory measurements were taken with two electromagnetic gauges-a PaveTracker and a Pavement Quality Indicator (PQ1). Test data were collected in the field during and after paving operations and also in laboratory on field mixes compacted in the lab. This study revealed that several mix-and project-specific factors affect electromagnetic gauge readings. Consequently, the implementation of these gauges will likely need to be done utilizing a test strip on a project- and mix-specific basis to appropriately identify an adjustment factor for the specific electromagnetic gauge being used for quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) testing. The substantial reduction in testing time that results from employing electromagnetic gauges rather than coring makes it possible for more readings to be used in the QC/QA process with real-time information without increasing the testing costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Troxler Model 2226 asphalt content gauge was evaluated in the laboratory and taken into the field where its results were compared to conventional reflux values. The precision as evaluated in the laboratory was found to be excellent - equivalent to .06% asphalt content with a 45 second count. The gauge does have to be recalibrated each time a different aggregate is used and as a practical matter should be recalibrated for each different mix type. Sample preparation is important and samples should be as uniform as possible. The accuracy appears to be as good as that of the reflux extractor. A recommendation for using the nuclear gauge is appended.
