    Josef Stryk - Non-Destructive Testing of Pavement Conditions PDF

    Uploaded by

    Erwin Kohler
    This document summarizes a workshop on non-destructive testing of pavement conditions. It describes various non-destructive testing techniques used in European countries to evaluate pavement surface conditions, structure, and environmental impact. These include devices for measuring bearing capacity, longitudinal evenness, skid resistance, texture, and noise and air pollution. The document outlines harmonization tests conducted on various devices to improve consistency, including tests of seven falling weight deflectometers, six devices for measuring longitudinal unevenness, and nine skid resistance devices. It concludes that non-destructive testing is important for pavement management and regular harmonization improves the effectiveness of these methods.

    bearing capacity
    differences between the two types of FWD: KUAB and Dynatest. KUAB FWDs
    tend to produce higher values of stiffness on asphalt pavements. For the central
    deflections, the differences go up to 10 %.

    Conclusions
     Non-destructive testing of pavement conditions is very
    important for optimal planning of maintenance and
    repair of pavements
     Ii is basic element of PMS
     The regular realization of harmonization tests improve
    effectiveness of applications of these NDT methods
     FEHRL initiates harmonization tests in Europe
