• Abstract:
  Thickness is currently a pay item for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements ; and a quality control item for both PCC and hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. ; A change in pavement thickness of 0.5 in. can result in a reduction of multiple ; years of service. Current thickness measurements are performed by destructively ; coring the fi nished pavement and measuring the thickness of the core. This ; is frequently performed at the end of the project construction and only fi ve ; representative samples are collected for each lot. Today, multiple nondestructive ; pavement evaluation tools are available and the accuracy of such ; devices has signifi cantly increased in recent years. Non-destructive thickness ; measurements will allow the Department a more effi cient and eff ective method ; of maintaining pavement quality without damaging the pavement.
