Title: Intelligent Soil Compaction Systems
Accession Number: 01323985
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: This report describes intelligent compaction, a new method of achieving and documenting compaction requirements through continuous compaction-roller vibration monitoring to assess mechanistic soil properties (e.g., stiffness, modulus), continuous modification/adaptation of roller vibration amplitude and frequency to ensure optimum compaction, and full-time monitoring by an integrated global positioning system (GPS) to provide a complete GPS-based record of the compacted area. This report will interest state and local highway agency construction managers and geotechnical engineers and contractors, particularly excavation superintendents. Implementation of this system has the potential to improve infrastructure performance, reduce costs, reduce construction duration, and improve safety.
Supplemental Notes: Appendices to the contractor's final report for NCHRP Project 21-09 are not published in this report but are available on the TRB website at http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/164279.aspx.
