• Abstract:
  Research Project 5-4414 “Pilot Implementation of Concrete Pavement Thickness GPR (CPT-GPR)” has been successfully completed. In this project, two CPT-GPR systems were manufactured, including GPR electronics, thickness and dielectric constant calculation algorithm, software interface, distance measuring encoder, LCD displays, and pushcart. The GPR operation manuals and training materials were composed and distributed to TxDOT district engineers. Using the training materials, three training classes were held in Beaumont, Dallas, and Austin districts, respectively. Field tests were also conducted in the above three districts. The test data on the fields will be presented in this report.
