The purpose of this project was to evaluate the suitability of the Pavement Quality Indicator (PQI) as a non-destructive density conformance test for asphalt layers during construction. Conformance testing (for payment purposes) requires that the PQI test method produces accurate results comparable to current asphalt core and nuclear gauge density measurement methods.
