Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) is one of the most important and widely used techniques for determining the quality and safety of materials, components, devices, and structures. The NDT&E technologies include ultrasonic (UT), magnetic particle (MT), magnetic flux leakage (MFLT), eddy current (ECT), radiation (RT), penetrant (PT) and visual testing (VT), along other testing techniques used for industrial applications. This Topic focuses on the recent advancements in NDT applications used to support economics, people’s quality of life and sustainability in civil engineering.

This Topic invites authors to submit high-quality research articles that cover the different topics of NDT&E progress. The subjects that will be discussed focus not only on the newest methods, technologies and applications, but also on the progressive results of future work.

The work conducted in this study was designed to establish achievable testing tolerances for non-destructive pavement density measurements using Density Profiling Systems (DPSs). Nine and six sensors were used to determine the precision of repeatability and reproducibility in the laboratory and the field, respectively. A minimum of six sensors (considered in this study as independent laboratories) were needed to comply with the minimum number of participants required in the current ASTM standard practice (ASTM E691). The methodology included the development of laboratory precision evaluation with a total of nine sensors and two different mixtures (9.5 mm fine-graded mix, 19.0 mm coarse-graded mix) compacted at four density levels (97%, 94%, 91%, and 88% of Gmm). For the field portion of this study, pavement sections built at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track in 2021 served as experimental variables. These sections were built with fine-graded asphalt mixtures and open-graded mixes as wearing courses. Additionally, the pavement sections included three underlying materials: new asphalt (binder layer), milled asphalt surface, and granular base, with thicknesses ranging from 3.8 to 13.9 cm. Density profile testing was conducted at two locations: within the mat (center of the lane) and along the joint. Computed precision statements regarding dielectric values within and between laboratories were about double for field results compared to laboratory results. However, when converted to density, the statements were significantly below the reported statements for Bulk Specific Gravity and Vacuum Sealing in the laboratory and Nuclear and Electromagnetic density gauges in the field.
