Nondestructive Testing to Identify Delaminations Between HMA Layers: Phase III–Develop User Guidelines

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Renewal Project R06D has released a pre-publication, non-edited version of a report that documents guidelines for use of ground penetrating radar and mechanical wave nondestructive technologies to detect delamination between asphalt pavement layers.

This report builds upon the research reported in SHRP 2 Report S2-R06D-RR-1: Testing to Identify Delaminations Between HMA Layers, Volume 1, which describes development of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques capable of detecting and quantifying delaminations in HMA pavements.
