Rapid shear strength evaluation of in situ granular materials utilizing the dynamic cone penetrometer
"Determination of the in situ shear strength of granular materials is an expensive and time consuming endeavor using traditional ""detailed"" evaluation techniques. The development of several ""rapid"" evaluation devices has facilitated the determination of the in situ shear strength of …

Characterization of Emulsion Aggregate Mixtures
… permanent deformation), tensile strength, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) and curing effects are evaluated in the laboratory. In-service EAM pavement evaluation includes distresses, DCP, and non-destructive testing using the Falling Weight Deflectometer. The study concludes that EAM's are …

An improved backcalculation method to predict flexible pavement layers moduli and bonding condition between wearing course and base course.
… on cores extracted for the pavements, whereas Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests were conducted for the unbound materials. The Backcalculated and the physically measured results correlated well, validating the improved procedure.

Foundation Design of Low Volume Roads: Evaluation and Performance
… A secondary objective was to evaluate if the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) is an acceptable tool in determining the subgrade support by using it to measure the penetration resistances of the foundation layers. A total of 16 different asphalt surfaced LVRs across SD were tested. The …

Early Age Assessment of Cement Treated Materials
… portable falling-weight deflectometer (PFWD), dynamic cone penetrometer, and falling-weight deflectometer for assessing early-age strength gain of cement-stabilized materials. Experimentation was performed at four sites on a pavement reconstruction project along Interstate 84 near Morgan, Utah, …

Characterization of Recycled Concrete for use as Pavement Base Material
… over a 1-year period. The testing included a dynamic cone penetrometer, ground-penetrating radar, a heavy Clegg impact soil tester, a soil stiffness gauge, and a portable falling-weight deflectometer. The laboratory testing indicated that the demolition material exhibited lower strength and …

Field investigation of subgrade non-uniformity effects on concrete pavement
… section, k-values were correlated from field Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests that were either deterministically or randomly assigned to a predefined area size. These spatial plots were discretized into various uniform area sizes to compare tensile stresses from a non-uniform support …

Local calibration of the MEPDG prediction models for pavement rehabilitation and evaluation of top-down cracking for Oregon Roadways
… falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing, dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing, and coring from the cracked and non-cracked pavement sections. Cores were then subjected to a full laboratory-testing program to evaluate the HMAC mixtures and binder rheology. The laboratory investigation …
