• Abstract:
  The goal of this study was to facilitate the use of the DCP and initiate implementation in NJ by providing training to NJDOT personnel and contractors in the State of New Jersey on how to operate the DCP and interpret the test results. To achieve this goal, field demonstrations were conducted at NJDOT job sites to present how to operate the DCP and determine the compaction quality of the unbound layer. The test sites were tested with both the NDG and DCP to evaluate the accuracy of the DCP on field sections. Questionnaires were also distributed to evaluate the opinions of NJDOT personnel and contractors on the use and implementation of the DCP. Additionally, a training video was developed for the purpose of further implementation of the DCP to personnel that were not at the field demonstrations.
