Advanced Methods to Identify Pavement Delamination (or R06D), includes three new technologies that can detect problems in the asphalt pavement beneath the surface in a safer, faster, and less expensive way than was done previously. Ultimately, the goal is to get real-time reliable results helpful for project-level forensics and network-level ...

Delamination between asphalt layers can contribute to several types of pavement surface distresses, such as cracking in the wheel paths and tearing in the surface, which are detrimental to the longevity of pavement performance. Delamination is primarily due to layer debonding or stripping that cannot be

Oct 26, 2023 · In this paper, a novel method was proposed for detecting air-filled delamination in asphalt pavement structures using dispersive GPR data. The method involves GPR data collection in WARR configuration, followed by transforming the data from the time-spatial domain into the phase-velocity frequency domain, and picking the optimal dispersion ...

Delamination is a loss in the continuity between asphalt concrete (AC) layers in the total thickness of asphalt pavement. Delamination can cause several types of surface distress, such as longitudinal cracking in the wheel path and tearing in the surface. Delamination results primarily from debonding between AC layers or stripping within an AC ...

Each of the GPR waveforms contain information of pavement features, such as stripping and delamination. Typically, GPR signal raises when it detects a defect in pavement due to a change of dielectric constant of materials |

Agencies need a method of detecting the location and severity of delamination before the pavement deficiency causes visible pavement distress. Solution. Developed through the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2), three new technologies make advances in the detection of subsurface discontinuity of asphalt pavement.

Asphalt is typically laid in multiple layers of thickness. If those layers don’t bond together, pavement problems begin to show at the surface. Technology that detect delamination under the surface of pavement before it becomes a larger issue. Ø Can identify variations in the pavement, and provide a relative degree of severity.

Delamination (debonding and stripping) between asphalt layers underneath the highway surface can lead to several types of pavement surface problems, such as cracking in the wheel paths and tearing in the surface. Once pavement starts deteriorating, it may not easily be detected, especially in the early stages.

The causes of delamination are as follows: 1) Inadequate tack-coating, 2) Seepage of water through the surface layer, 3) A loose asphalt mixture. Delamination can also occur due to weak...

Jun 4, 2019 · A new solution to this problem developed through the SHRP2 program is called Advanced Methods to Identify Pavement Delamination, commonly referred to as R06D. It features two non-destructive...
