Combined Use of GPR and PMS Data for Composite Pavement Assessments

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to simultaneously evaluate the surface and existing layers of composite pavement using PMS data and GPR equipment. The distribution of dielectric constants according to the existing concrete conditions and the relationship between dielectric constants and surface distress was evaluated. As a result, the dielectric constant distribution of the existing concrete showed a significant difference depending on the AAR. In addition, the correlation between surface distress and the dielectric constants of the existing layers was low.
