Download or read book Pavement Smoothness Index Relationships written by Kelly L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all State highway agencies use smoothness specifications to ensure that hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are built to high levels of smoothness. About half of all current State smoothness specifications for HMA and more then three-fourths of all current PCC smoothness specifications are centered around the Profile Index (PI), as often measured using a profilograph. The vast majority of these specifications utilize a 5-mm (0.2-in.) blanking band in computing PI (i.e., PI5-mm). Assistance in selecting appropriate IRI and PI0.0 specification limits is needed to provide a basis for modifying current specifications to these more reproducible and portable smoothness indices. This research effort has developed a series of relationships between IRI and PI that can assist States in transitioning to IRI or PI0.0 smoothness specification for HMA and PCC pavements.

Download or read book Measurements Specifications and Achievement of Smoothness for Pavement Construction written by James H. Woodstrom and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to construction engineers, pavement designers, contractors, and others interested in construction of new highway pavements with smooth surfaces. Information is provided on the various devices and specifications that are being used to obtain smooth pavements. The public rates a pavement primarily on its smooth-riding characteristics and highway agencies recognize that constructing smooth pavements results in fewer problems later and lower annual maintenance costs. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the devices and specifications highway agencies use to ensure that newly constructed pavements will provide a smooth ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new ASTM publication presents the latest information on the practical and developmental aspects of pavement surface evaluation procedures and technologies, including their reliability and relevancy. Seven peer-reviewed papers cover: * Pavement surface characteristics measurement procedures and equipment * Approaches to enhance the reliability and accuracy of pavement surface evaluation systems * Approaches to harmonization between different measurement devices for specific pavement surface condition indicators * Assessment of current pavement condition indicators and their relevancy level for use in asset management * Assessment of factors influencing the interaction of tire/pavement surface characteristics * Assessment of automated distress survey systems * Evaluation of new/promising technologies for pavement condition surveys."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Real Time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, documents the evaluation and demonstration of real-time smoothness measuring technologies on Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements during construction. The research in this report will improve process control and allow for two technologies, the GOMACO Smoothness Indicator and the Ames Engineering Real Time Profiler, which were both tested in the field on actual paving projects in Arkansas, Texas, Michigan, Georgia, and New York.
