Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) uses many instruments to
monitor the condition of the extensive network of Texas highways.
Depth to bedrock beneath roads is one of the more important parameters
in assessing pavement condition. In this project, funded by TxDOT,
we trained TxDOT staff to use the Seismic Refraction Bedrock Analyzer
(SRBA), an instrument we developed and built to determine bedrock
depth and material properties beneath pavement using seismic refraction
methods. We conducted tests and training sessions at sites around
the state, including in the Austin, San Antonio, Midland, Abilene,
Brownwood, and Waco districts. |
