THE ULTRASONIC PULSE METHOD FOR THE QUALITY CONTROL OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE /IN RUSSIAN/

SEVERAL TYPES OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE WERE SUBJECTED TO TESTS CURRENTLY USED IN THE USSR, AND TO ULTRASONIC TESTS. THE TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES ON SAMPLES VARYING IN DEGREE OF COMPACTION AND BITUMEN CONTENT. RELATIONS WERE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE VALUES RECOMMENDED FOR STANDARD TESTS IN SPECIFICATIONS AND THOSE OBTAINED BY MEANS OF ULTRASONIC TEST METHODS. THESE RELATIONS FACILITATE THE IN-SITU CONTROL OF SURFACINGS. MENTION IS MADE OF AN APPARATUS DESIGNED ACCORDING TO ULTRASONIC TESTING PRINCIPLES. /LCPC/RRL/
