This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondestructive testing has become an integral part for evaluation and rehabilitation strategies of pavements in recent years. Pavement evaluation employing the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can provide valuable information about pavement performance characteristics and be a very useful tool for project prioritization purposes and estimation of construction budget at the network level. FWD deflection testing is an accurate tool for determining pavement structural capacity and estimating the required thickness of overlays and hence is an accurate tool for planning for or estimating required current and future construction budgets. GPR is the only tool that a highway agency may use to develop an inventory of pavement layers thicknesses in the most efficient manner possible. By estimating pavement layer thicknesses and stiffness properties more reliable projections of network rehabilitation strategies and needs can be established, thus resulting in cost effective use of available funds. Traditional obstacles for the use of FWD and GPR in pavement evaluation at the network level used to be expenses involved in data collection, limited resources and lack of simplified analysis procedures. This report presents Indiana experience in pavement evaluation with the FWD and GPR at the network level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement evaluation techniques which involve the use of state-of-art technologies and tools for functional and structural evaluation of pavements have become necessity today for health monitoring of road infrastructure and to take appropriate decisions for maintenance, planning and budgeting of road network based on scientific tools. The state-of-art infrastructure facilities available at CSIR-Central Road Research Institute motivates us to write this manual which concisely covers all the major equipment of pavement evaluation, so that the students and field practitioners understand the methodology and follow the correct procedure for functional and structural evaluation of pavement for various purposes. The first chapter of the manual deals with the evaluation of pavement surface roughness for rating the roads as per riding quality criteria. Apart from the methodology for roughness measurement using various equipment, this chapter will help the readers for deciding the appropriate technology depending upon the location and type of the road under study. Second chapter of the manual is related to the micro and macro level assessment of pavement surface characteristics which are related to the measurement of pavement surface texture, skid resistance and polish stone value, to ensure the safe riding pavement surface. Third chapter covers the details about distresses observed on flexible pavements and their measurement techniques. Details of most dominating distresses along with illustrating photographs and severity levels are also given in this chapter. Fourth chapter gives details of axle load surveys using static and weigh-in-motion systems which are required to know the current loading pattern on the project roads for their upgradation and various maintenance needs. Calculation of vehicle damage factor with examples has also been included in this chapter. The fifth chapter deals with the structural health monitoring of roads using Benkelman Beam and Falling Weight Deflection techniques. The details of these two methods and their measurements techniques are given in details with example for estimating the overlay needs using Falling Weight Deflectometer Technique. The use of Network Survey vehicle has also become necessity for road asset and pavement condition monitoring for development of pavement maintenance management systems at network level. The details of a typical network survey vehicle system including its calibration and validation details are given in chapter six. This chapter also includes the tentative specifications of Network Survey Vehicle System to meet the requirements of road asset management systems. We are hopeful that the readers will find the book useful as the procedures of pavement evaluation using equipment have been demonstrated in a simplified way. Suggestion and observations for further improvement of the manual are welcome.

Download or read book Pavement Evaluation Using Road Meters written by and published by Highway Research Board. This book was released on 1973 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many instruments are available for measuring pavement roughness. Some of these instruments are costly and obtain very detailed data. Most require that pavement condition be measured at low speeds, thus demanding that production rates be quite low. For many years, engineers have been searching for a device that gives the required information but is inexpensive to produce and operate. The road meter, first developed by Max P. Brokaw, is a simple device that essentially measures the relative movement of the rear axle of a passenger car with respect to the frame of the car. This device permits obtaining a large amount of data and can in fact be operated by 1 person in a passenger car, although generally 2 individuals are required. Because the instrument is new, a need has existed to bring together engineers and researchers who are using the device to discuss the experience of various agencies in obtaining pavement condition data by this technique.
