• Abstract:
  The present research project consists of field testing, laboratory testing, and analysis of the results. The field testing includes the DCPT and nuclear gauge tests. In the planning stage, several road construction sites were selected for the field testing. For the selected road construction sites, both the DCPT and nuclear tests were performed at the same location, allowing a comparison between DCPT and nuclear test results. Soil samples for the selected project sites were also obtained for the laboratory testing program.
