Real-Time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction (SHRP 2 Report S2-R06E-RR-1)

|
Greetings!
Because smoothness specifications for concrete pavements require measurements of surface profile on the finished pavement for acceptance testing, problems are not corrected in real time, which can result in significant expenditures to correct surface irregularities. To develop a construction quality-control tool for detecting surface irregularities during concrete paving operations, SHRP 2 Project R06E (Real-Time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction) evaluated and conducted demonstrations of both emerging and proven technologies. Based on those results, the project developed model specifications and construction guidance to expedite the implementation of technologies that can provide an indication of smoothness in real time. The final report documents these activities.
