Application of Infrared Thermographic Imaging to Bituminous Concrete Pavements
The application of infrared thermographic imaging to the analysis of asphalt concrete pavement provides an alternative method and means of evaluating the material with respect to segregation, future distress and overall lifespan. Several variables examined throughout this study were incorporated with the use of the thermographic camera to provide further insight as to the material properties as well as the practical application of asphalt pavement to Connecticut roads and highways. These variables include comparisons of temperature differential vs. compacted material density, remixing vs. non-remixing material transfer vehicles, day vs. night time paving, haul distances vs. temperature differentials, Superpave vs. Marshall mixes, as well as evaluations and close examinations of material gradations, transfer methods, paving equipment, crews, plants, haul units, weather and base conditions among other variables as they all apply to the thermal consistency as well as the overall quality of the finished road or highway. An evaluation of each variable examined throughout this study is found in the corresponding section of this report. Conclusions and recommendations as to the outcomes of this study are found following the completed analysis.
