Abstract:

The responses are summarized of 50 state agencies and Canadian Provinces and cities to questionnaires related to the development and use of nuclear gauges on highways. Thirty nine states are using nuclear systems for specification control of the moisture and density of soils and aggregates. Nuclear systems for specification control of the density of bituminous concrete are used in twenty nine states, and systems for non-specification uniformity checks are used in an additional 10 states. Fifteen states measure asphalt content by nuclear systems. Data concerning the distribution of 1,473 portable surface M/D Systems are tabulated. A tabular comparison is presented of the nuclear questionnaire results over a period of 11 years. In Canada, five provinces utilize nuclear systems for specifications control of the moisture and density of soils and aggregates and 3 provinces use them for specification control of bituminous concrete. The results of the Canadian survey are tabulated.
