Non destructive methods for materials testing based on propagation of sonic and ultrasonic pulse wave velocity (UPV) test has seen limited use on HMA mixtures and a new test procedure needs to be developed to fully exploit the potential of the ultrasonic pulse wave velocity test. In this paper, UPV test is evaluated as a rapid true non-destructive test for determination of engineering properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. The results indicate that UPV test has good accuracy in comparison with other common test.
