Recommendations for Nondestructive testing (NDT) of Concrete Components for Performance-based Specifications
Presented by Larry Jacobs, Senior Vice Provost for Education and Learning
Georgia Institute of Technology
This research investigates non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for the quality assurance of portland cement concrete pavements and structures. Responses were collected from a survey distributed amongst AASHTO Committee of Materials and Pavements (CoMP) members regarding their use of NDT technologies. Relevant literature was reviewed to determine the fundamental capabilities and limitations of NDT techniques and comparisons were drawn between commercially- available devices. Finally, a series of validation tests were performed to confirm that specific NDT devices can perform as expected. From the information gathered, recommendations are made regarding the implementation of NDT technologies for the enforcement of concrete performance-based specifications.

Practical Assessment of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): NDT techniques for the On-site Implementation
Presented by Hossein Taheri, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Manufacturing EngineeringGeorgia Southern University
The overarching objective of this research is the development of a systematic methodology of employing Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), including instruments, subsequent data processing and interpretation that can be used regularly and reliably as part of roadway pavement construction projects. The use of NDT tools for pavement construction applications is assessed and the critical pavement properties and related acceptance criteria in construction projects is studied. Relevant codes and standards are evaluated for the clarity and application and their procedures are described including the operational consideration of the GPR devices. Based on this study, the optimum candidate NDT tool or combination of tools is recommended and efficient operational procedure, technical support consideration and required training and maintenance is identified to enhance and strengthen the quality assessment in transportation construction projects.
