Air Voids Testing for MnROAD Cells
Principal Investigator:
Mihai Marasteanu, Associate Professor, Civil Engineering
Project Summary:
MnROAD underwent a large-scale reconstruction project during the summer of 2008, and several of its test sections were surfaced with hot mix asphalt. It is important that researchers obtain all material properties from all pavement materials used, but one of the most vital metrics is the amount, or percent, of air voids in the mixtures. The goal of this project is to gather this information. Researchers will collect data from 145 cores from various MnROAD cells and track the change in air voids over time.
