Abstract

Non-destructive methods for materials testing based on propagation of sonic and ultrasonic waves are being increasingly used in testing engineering materials. However, the use of ultrasonic pulse wave velocity (UPV) test has seen limited use on HMA mixtures and a new test procedure needs to be developed to fully exploit the potential of the ultrasonic pulse wave velocity test. In this paper, UPV test is evaluated as a rapid true non-destructive test for determination of engineering properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. The results indicate that UPV test has good accuracy in comparison with other common tests.
