Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is increasingly using nondestructive testing (NDT) for structural evaluation of pavements used in design and rehabilitation selection procedures. The Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) is currently the main structural evaluation tool. The Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been introduced to supplement the FWD testing by providing thickness information, defining section breaks, and locating areas of subsurface defects in flexible pavements. The Seismic Pavement Analyzer (SPA) has been demonstrated to provide information about the structural capacity that is not available with the FWD. Each of the three devices has strengths and weaknesses. However, when combined, they can provide a wealth of information not available from a single device. The feasibility of joint analysis of the data obtained from these three devices, as well as others, is addressed in this report.
