DEVELOP MORE SIGNIFICANT AND RAPID TEST PROCEDURES FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE REMOTE SENSING PROCEDURES

THE OBJECTIVE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIELD TESTING PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING PAVEMENT THICKNESS, DENSITY, STEEL LOCATION AND DEFECTS BY MEANS OF RESISTIVITY, NATURAL POTENTIAL, AND SEISMIC VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS. THESE REMOTE SENSING PROCEDURES WILL BE EVALUATED RELATIVE TO STANDARD DESTRUCTIVE FIELD TESTS. FOUR STUDIES ARE SUGGESTED: (1) ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TESTS OF PAVEMENT THICKNESS; (2) NATURAL POTENTIAL TEST FOR PAVEMENT THICKNESS; (3) SEISMIC VELOCITY TEST FOR DENSITY OF COMPACTED ROADWAY LAYERS; (4) NATURAL POTENTIAL TESTS FOR CORROSION EFFECTS IN CONCRETE PAVEMENTS AND BRIDGE DECKS.
