Specifications for tools used in structural field testing of flexible pavement layers

This report contains the specifications for the equipment to be developed, and demonstration of methodology to be used to determine engineering properties of flexible pavements during construction. The primary goal of this project is to develop realistic field protocols and test equipment, which in a rational manner, combine the results from laboratory and field tests with those used for quality control during construction. The significance of the project is that more rational methods for quality control during construction can be developed, at the same time, feedback to the pavement design engineer can be provided in terms of the assumption made to design the pavement.
