  • Abstract:
    The main purpose of this research is to determine the possibility of substituting in‐place core density (% Gmm) for Hot Mix Asphalt  ; (HMA) Quality Assurance (QA) in Indiana Department of Transportation Specification with Intelligent Compaction (IC) measurements. A  ; questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted to gather information on: (1) the usage of IC technology in other states, (2) the  ; benefits of applying IC technology, and (3) the application of IC technology for Quality Control/ Quality Assurance (QC/QA). Also the data  ; available from IC demonstration performed on US 52 in 2009 was analyzed to identify the relationship between in‐place density values  ; (i.e., Non‐Nuclear Gauge, NNG) and the IC Measurement Values (ICMVs).  ; According to survey responses from 26 agencies, there was no state DOT using IC for QA as of June 2014. Only two DOTs,  ; including Alaska and Vermont have adopted IC in HMA compaction for QC. The reasons for not using IC technology in current QC/QA  ; practices  were:  (1) satisfaction  with  existing  QC/QA  procedure,  (2)  difficulty  of  adjustment  due  to  the  lack  of specifications  in  ; determining stiffness in HMA, and (3) lack of availability of IC equipment with contractors. However, it was responded that the most  ; benefits of IC was night time paving and uniform compaction in QC.  ; Analysis of the ICMV data obtained from a demonstration project on US 52 indicated that a NNG correlation showed an R2  ; value of 0.67. This finding supports the IC implementation in the current INDOT HMA QC. It should be noted that a correlation between  ; core‐density and ICMV could not be determined due to lack of reliable data.  ; In conclusion, the research could not identify any possibility of adding IC into the INDOT specification for QA based on the  ; survey, phone interviews and analysis of the data obtained from IC demonstration on US 52.
