Novel Analysis of Ultrasonic Pulse Propagation Tests for Characterization of Asphalt Concrete

The need for better pavement material characterization has become the focus of several studies lately. Better characterization is necessary to promote mechanistic-based pavement analysis methods. The current availability of nondestructive testing methods offers significant benefits to improve the accuracy of conventional testing methods as well as the development of fast quality control tools. To this end, a new analysis of the ultrasonic pulse...
