THE GEORGIA DIGITAL FAULTMETER. DESIGN, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL. IMPLEMENTATION PACKAGE

Personnel of the Georgia Department of Transportation, Office of Materials and Research, designed and built electronic digital faultmeters to easily measure concrete joint faulting. The unit reads faulting directly in thirty-seconds of an inch within one second. The reading remains "frozen" in the display allowing the meter to be removed from the road for safety before reading. The objective of this project was to prepare an Implementation Package covering the design, operation and maintenance of the Georgia Digital Faultmeter. Detailed plans, parts lists and cost estimates are included in this Implementation Package.
