• Abstract:
  Under this project several field protocols and test equipment, which in a rational manner, combine the results from laboratory and field tests with those used for quality control during construction, are evaluated by TxDOT personnel with the assistance of UTEP. The significance of the protocols is more rational methods for quality control during construction, at the same time, feedback to the pavement design engineer can be provided in terms of the assumption made design the pavement. The protocols proposed provide the first step towards developing performance-based specifications. This report contains the results of the implementation of the devices in the day-to-day operation of TxDOT by TxDOT personnel. Based on the feedback and modifications done to the protocols, the methods are quite feasible for implementation.
