OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND USER SATISFACTION OF COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE NDT EQUIPMENT. Academic Article

abstract

• The objective of the study was to develop a ready reference that describes available nondestructive testing (NDT) devices and methods for use in designing the thickness of asphalt concrete overlays for flexible pavements. The report was developed to serve as a guide to practicing highway engineers who are considering the purchase of new equipment or developing (or modifying) overlay design procedures for flexible pavements. Summary tables of equipment characteristics and operating capabilities are provided. Selected overlay design procedures that use NDT input were described in the report; however, in this paper only basic equipment characteristics and user comments concerning the equipment are discussed.
