MN/ROAD TESTING PROTOCOLS. VOLUME 1

This report presents a series of testing protocols used at the Minnesota Road Research Project (Mn/ROAD), the Minnesota Department of Transportation's (Mn/DOT's) pavement testing facility. This report helps establish a history of the tests conducted and testing procedures, and also serves as a reference for researchers outside of Mn/DOT to compare the values found in independent or cooperative studies to Mn/ROAD test results and procedures. The following protocols are included: pavement condition testing plan and testing protocols; deflection test protocols; subsurface temperature testing protocols; frozen soil measurements testing protocols; traffic measurements testing protocols; material samples testing protocols; soil moisture measurements testing protocols; climate data testing protocols; and bituminous testing protocols.
