Instrumentation Capabilities at RUAPTF
- Instrumentation provides valuable information about the behavior and performance of pavements
- At RUAPTF, we have all the necessary tools and experience needed to instrument full-scale pavement sections
- Complete synchronization between HVS testing and instruments is also possible at RUTAPT through a state-of-the-art Data Acquisition System (DAQ).
- Various sensors can be installed in RUAPT full-scale pavement sections include:
- Pressure cells in all pavement layers.
- Asphalt and concrete strain gauges (surface and embedded).
- Multi-Depth Deflection (MDD) sensors.
- Horizontal and vertical displacement sensors such as Linear Variable Differential Transducers (LVDTs).
- Temperature sensors and thermocouples (in both bound and unbound pavement layers).
- Soil and aggregate moisture sensors.
