Abstract:

The specific objectives of the study are to: 1. Conduct a review and evaluation of available optical gradation analysis devices that are in use and/or being investigated by other agencies. 2. Prepare physical samples and conduct gradation tests on a range of aggregate samples using current ASTM/AASHTO procedures. 3. Repeat tests on physical samples using the optical devices that become available to the researchers. 4. Analyze the data. 5. Identify the specific tasks Phase-2 evaluation for a comprehensive evaluation of optical devices. First, a review of available optical devices was conducted. An optical device called Computerized Particle Analyzer (CPA) was selected for laboratory evaluation to determine its suitability for gradation analysis. This device has been designed to examine particles as they freely fall in front of a light source, while a sophisticated camera capable of making 10,000 scans per second captures images.
