ATREL
houses nondestructive testing equipment including a van equipped
with state-of-the-art ground penetration radar (GPR) with a wide
range of antennae for accurate measurements of a pavement's layer
thicknesses, bridge deck assessment, railroad track evaluation,
and internal flaw detection. Testing conducted at ATREL includes
the use of electromagnetic waves as well as stress waves (ultrasonic
and impact echo). In addition, the facility has readily available
data acquisition systems for collecting static and dynamic data
from instrumented pavement sections. |
