Homogeneity Assessment of Asphalt Concrete Base in Terms of a Three-Dimensional Air-Launched Ground Penetrating Radar

Obtaining the required homogeneity, including uniform thickness and density, is very crucial for controlling the quality of flexible asphalt layers. Although non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are time-saving and less labor-intensive, they only provide indirect measurement data under testing area...
