Relationships between Physical, Mechanical and Acoustic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures Using Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic testing can be used for a nondestructive and rapid determination of material properties. In this study, twelve asphalt mixture samples four different types were fabricated in conventional property tests two ultrasonic wave tests. Physical properties such as bulk specific gravity air void content, mechanical dynamic modulus phase angle, acoustic velocity measured. Relationships between these established analyzed tool the future determination. addition, measured standard laboratory test, to construct master curve models predict their values at arbitrary temperatures frequencies. Furthermore, theoretical model linear isotropic viscoelastic was utilized with density, Poisson’s ratio, angle modulus. Good agreement has been achieved measurements predictions. It indicates that serve method
