Nondestructive Testing to Identify Delaminations Between HMA Layers, Volume 1 - Summary

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R06D-RR-1: Nondestructive Testing to Identify Delaminations Between HMA Layers, Volume 1 describes development of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques capable of detecting and quantifying delaminations in HMA pavements. The NDT techniques should be applicable to construction, project design, and network-level assessments.

SHRP 2 Report S2-R06D-RW-2 was developed as part of SHRP 2 Renewal Project R06D, which generated a sizable amount of documentation regarding the findings of evaluations and equipment development. The report for SHRP 2 Renewal Project R06D is therefore divided into five volumes. Volumes 2 through 5 provide more detailed technical information and are web-only. The topics covered in these volumes are listed below.

Volume 2: Theoretical Models
Volume 3: Controlled Evaluation Reports
Volume 4: Uncontrolled Evaluation Reports
Volume 5: Field Core Verification

An e-book version of this report is available for purchase at Amazon, Google, and iTunes.

Renewal Project R06D also produced a Phase 3 Report to document guidelines for use of ground penetrating radar and mechanical wave nondestructive technologies to detect delamination between asphalt pavement layers.
