Abstract
Performance of ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in hydraulically bound mixtures is examined as a non-destructive testing, in order to estimate its potential for pavement material characterization. Test results show that an increase in cement content results in an increase in UPV values. Increase in steel slag aggregate content results in a decrease in UPV values. Analyses of relationship between UPV values and strengths have shown strong polynomial relationship. For UPV values ranging 2 ÷ 3,2 km/s cement stabilized material can be classified as appropriate for usage in road construction. Test results have shown good potential for UPV measure as non-destructive method in cement stabilized material characterization.
