• Abstract:
  The work completed in this project created a series of online lab modules that ; transportation professionals could use as a reference to learn how to conduct, how to ; interpret, and the applications of geotechnical lab tests used in practice to determine ; engineering soil properties. These instructional modules were produced and distributed ; through the Virginia Transportation Training Academy for use by highway design ; professionals throughout the state of Virginia. Additionally, the Transportation Training ; Academy made these videos available through their website for use by other MAUTC ; universities or State DOTs that wish to offer these instructional video modules as ; reference tools within their own highway design communities.
