Intelligent Compaction: A Minnesota Case History

摘要

Intelligent Compaction (IC) uses an instrumented roller to provide continuous, real time verification of in situ soil properties over the entire compaction area. Ammann, Bomag and Caterpillar compactors were used on three trunk highway projects in Minnesota during 2005. The objective of this study was to compare quality control data from an IC roller with quality assurance data collected from several hand-held field-testing devices. The results demonstrate the potential of IC technology for use as quality control during construction. This case history discusses the field study results and makes recommendations for IC implementation in 2006.
