DEVELOPMENT OF A PAVEMENT CROSS-SLOPE INSPECTION DEVICE

A pavement cross-slope measuring device was developed for use in construction inspection and in obtaining data for the evaluation of construction tolerances. The device utilizes a damped pendulum as a reference from which cross-slope is measured by means of a battery powered wheatstone bridge circuit. /FHWA/
