Curiosities: How does the DOT test new paving?
University Communications madison.com | Posted: Sunday, May 29, 2011 3:15 pm
Q: I hear University Avenue may need repaving. Don't they test asphalt before they pave?
A: The problem may have been detected shortly after paving, says Hussain Bahia, a paving expert and professor of civil and environmental engineering at UW-Madison.
Bahia notes that the state Department of Transportation requires extensive testing of asphalt when paving state highways, and the city of Madison follows the same standards.
"These things are done in a very engineered way, and the DOT has very good, very clear specifications, but things do happen," says Bahia.
