Asphalt Core Cutting Test for Road Pavement

Pavement coring involves the extraction of road based materials for laboratory testing and analysis. Testing is an essential part of highways construction to help determine the strength of the bond between base layers and also assess the drainage characteristics of the pavement.
Asphalt core cutting test carried out to confirm the quality of the works like the density of the asphalt, the thickness of the layer, air permeability, asphalt compression strength, asphalt mix test, etc. The above video showed the procedures to take the core sample or specimen and measured the specimen’s depth to determine the depth of Asphalt Pavement. This procedure also knows as the Asphalt core test. Further, this test could be carried out in remote areas so the electricity arrangement could become an important factor before planning the test so that the power source could be part of the equipment set.
