Field Test Specifications

Highway & Pavement Testing

Comprehensive pavement evaluation, Field Dry Density (FDD), Benkelman Beam Deflection, and subgrade strength assessment for roads and highways.

Governing Testing Standards:IS 2720IRC 37IRC 81ASTM D6938

Service Overview & Scope

ATLES offers specialized pavement engineering services to assess flexible and rigid highway structures. Our field testing protocols ensure that road subgrades, base courses, and asphalt layers comply with design specifications and load-bearing requirements.

Engineering Purpose

To verify structural capacity, compaction density, and layer integrity of flexible and rigid pavements under dynamic traffic loadings.

Key Civil Engineering Applications

National and State Highway Construction
Airport Runway and Taxiway Quality Assurance
Industrial Estate Internal Logistics Roads
Pavement Rehabilitation & Overlay Design Evaluation

Testing Methodology & Field Execution

1

In-situ Field Dry Density (FDD) testing using Sand Replacement and Core Cutter methods.

2

Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) measurements for pavement structural capacity assessment.

3

Asphalt core sampling for thickness, density, and bitumen content evaluation.

4

Roughness Index measurement and surface distress mapping.

Laboratory & Field Equipment

Sand Replacement Cylinder & Core Cutter Apparatus
Benkelman Beam with Dial Gauges
Pavement Core Drilling Machines
Nuclear Density Gauge (on request)

Engineering Significance

Accurate pavement testing prevents premature rutting, cracking, and structural failure, ensuring optimized lifecycle maintenance and safety for transport networks.
