Table of Contents Introduction Background Experimental Design Nondestructive Testing with GPR Trench Verification Conclusion Remarks

Introduction  What is rut  Causes of rut  Layer-based rut study  Methods to evaluate layer-based rut  Focus of this study 3

Pavement structure  Hot rubber seal: 2006  Hot mix asphalt overlay: 1998 Project history Background (1) 4 ~2” TyC HMA ~4~5” TyB HMA ~8” CRC ~6” CTB Subgrade Hot rubber seal Seal coat Fabric underseal Traffic  2010 AADT:  Truck percentage: 26%  20 years ESALs: 33 million

Experimental Design NDT and DT complement each other to accommodate evaluation of permanent deformation across the entire length of the segment under study.  Ground Penetrating Radar used to estimate pavement layer thickness  Right wheel path  Middle of lane  Coring used to calibrate GPR thickness estimates  Trenching used to verify permanent deformation estimated by GPR Non destructive testing Destructive testing 7

GPR Principle 8 Pavement

GPR Colorful Map View 9

Thickness Estimation Based on GPR Signal 10 A 1 : Amplitude of reflection from pavement surface, in volt; A m : Amplitude of reflection from a metal plate (placed on a pavement surface), in volt. c: A constant representing the speed of the EM wave traveling in the air, i.e. approximately 3x108 m/s or 11.8 inch/ns; and t: One way travel time of an EM wave in a given layer.
