Abstract:

Intelligent Compaction (IC) technique is a fast-developing technology for base and soil ; compaction quality control. Proof-rolling subgrades and bases using IC rollers upon completion of compaction can identify the less stiff spots and significantly improve the compaction uniformity of the compacted layers. The main objective of this project was to capitalize on the new specification for implementation of IC technology developed through TxDOT research project 0-6740. The specific objectives of this project included: (1) developing and deploying a training program for the TxDOT engineers and inspectors, (2) supporting the districts in implementing the IC technology in their districts, (3) implementing a field monitoring program to quantify the benefits of the IC technology, and (4) assisting TxDOT Construction Division in evaluating and adopting the new IC specification. The activities to achieve these objectives, the lessons learned ; from the pilot implementation projects, and the conclusions are included in this report.
