AKP40
This committee is concerned with the structural testing and evaluation of pavement systems. Information obtained from these tests are used to characterize individual pavement layers as well as to determine overall pavement performance through direct pavement response measurements, modeling, correlation, and other methods. Testing and evaluation includes the use of falling weight deflectometers, traffic speed deflection devices, and full-scale accelerated pavement testing.

AKP40(1) Mechanistic Characterization of Pavement Layers (Chair: Eyal Levenberg)
This subcommittee is concerned with the analysis and determination of pavement layer properties. In support of the parent committee’s mission and stakeholders, it focuses on testing tools, sensing technologies, and modeling approaches that enable the in situ quantification of engineering characteristics, e.g., mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, etc. Also, the subcommittee provides a platform for evaluating emerging capabilities and identifying future needs. Emphasis is placed on the details and specifics to advance knowledge and practice.
AKG60/AKP40 Sub-committee for Pavement Instrumentation (Chair: Dirk Jensen)
While instrumentation techniques for pavements and geotechnical projects are similar, there's a practical difference in measurement procedures. Geotechnical applications use static performance response measurements, while pavements use dynamic measurements. The success of an instrumentation program for researchers, consultants, contractors, or asset managers depends on the selection of instrumentation, installation techniques, data collection system, and data management. This sub-committee aims to share knowledge and understanding of traditional and innovative instrumentation technologies in both pavement and geotechnical applications.
