Abstract

This paper presents the result of an experimental study based on propagation wave velocities measurements with P and S-waves performed on a laboratory asphalt mix plate. Three methods for the Time Of Flight (TOF) determination are proposed, taking into account the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) influence. The shift from the wave velocities to mechanical properties is made within the framework of a linear, isotropic and elastic material and by using the gamma rays test results. The data is presented in form of cartographies. Furthermore, a statistical analysis was conducted from the cartographies in order to determine the nominal values and confidence interval.
