• Abstract:
  The Wisconsin Highway Research Program sponsored a two-stage investigation to develop a non-destructive system to evaluate critical compaction properties and characteristics of asphalt pavements during the densification process. Stage One activities defined critical characteristics during compaction, investigated non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies to measure these characteristics and ranked the NDTs to evaluate selected systems in the second stage of the study. Stage Two activities required collecting field data from three projects, analyzing the data using a variety of methods and developing an implementation plan based upon the findings.
