This report describes intelligent compaction, a new method of achieving and documenting compaction requirements. Intelligent compaction uses continuous compaction-roller vibration monitoring to assess mechanistic soil properties, continuous modification/adaptation ...

<p>Soil slope instability concerning highway infrastructure is an ongoing problem in Iowa, as slope failures endanger public safety and continue to result in costly repair work. Characterization of slope failures is complicated, because the factors affecting ...

<p>Accurate measurement of soil deformation is fundamental to the success of geotechnical modelling. Current practice is to track the movement of a grid of target markers embedded in an exposed plane of soil through a sequence of video images. A new system ...
