Responding State Other Testing Variables
Alabama All projects more than 1 mile in length are tested every two-tenths of a mile; projects less then 1 mile are tested
every tenth of a mile.
Alaska No temperature gradient holes are done. Air and surface temperatures are measured. Testing is done at centerline
of slab and across joints.
California For temperature, we record ambient and pavement surface temperatures.
Colorado We follow LTPP test sequence in center of slab.
Idaho Temperature is taken at mid-depth of pavement at a minimum of one per hour.
Indiana Surface temperature only.
Iowa Surface temperatures are obtained with temperature sensor at test time.
Kansas Varies.
Maryland Varies depending on project.
Michigan Time history testing.
Nevada We use infrared surface temperatures for gathering temperature data. This measurement is taken at every test
location.
New Jersey We employ various LTPP setups and loads to 16,000 lb.
North Carolina Asphalt surface temperature is taken at every drop location.
Pennsylvania We do not drill any holes for taking temperatures.
