Method for Assessment of Modeling Quality for Asphalt Dielectric Constant to Density Calibration Open
Traditional measures of asphalt compaction rely primarily on random cores that only measure a small fraction of the pavement. Recently, the use of ground penetrating radar was indicated to be usable as a nondestructive means for the contin…

Toward Core-Free Pavement Compaction Evaluation: An Innovative Method Relating Asphalt Permittivity to Density Open
Asphalt pavement compaction quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) are traditionally based on destructive drilled cores and/or nuclear gauge results, which both are spot measurements representing significantly less than 1 percent of…

Characterization of concrete at various freeze-thaw damage conditions using SH-waves Open
Evaluation of migration-based reconstructions can give a qualitative characterization of large scale or excessive subsurface damage. However, for detection of stochastic damage mechanisms such as freeze-thaw damage, evaluation of the indiv…
