• Abstract:
  Non-nuclear Densometers are being considered to replace the nuclear Densometer to reduce the extreme cost of manpower, transportation, training, security and documentation to use and maintain them. This project seeks to find alternate technologies that could be used to provide an equal or better degree of reliability in determining the in-place density of unbound and bound materials. Ideally, this technology would be safe to use around other people, user-friendly for technicians to operate and sufficiently reliable that it could effectively be used to determine pay factors for large amounts of money, and if necessary, be credible enough for use in legal situations.
