MOISTURE MEASUREMENTS IN PAVEMENT USING ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY METHODS

AN ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SOIL MOISTURE GAUGE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED AS A MEANS FOR MEASURING MOISTURE VARIATIONS WITHIN PAVEMENTS. A DESCRIPTION OF HTE GAUGE AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUMENTATION IS PRESENTED TOGETHER WITH AN EXAMPLE OF ITS USE IN EXAMINING THE WETTING OF MODELLED ROAD SHOULDERS BY WATER SHED FROM THE SEAL. CALIBRATION CURVES OF GAUGE RESPONSE WITH MOISTURE CONTENET SUGGEST THAT THE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TECHNIQUES DESCRIBED ARE SUFFICIENTLY RELIABLE FOR MONITORING THIS VARIABLE UNDER CONTROLLED TEMPARATURE AND SALINITY ENVIROMENTS. /AUTHOR/
