Details

TRB will conduct a webinar on Thursday, July 20, 2017 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that will provide an overview of Intelligent Compaction (IC) technology, including how IC can be applied to soils, bases, and asphalt layers. IC deals with the continuous assessment of compacted layer properties using roller vibration parameters and roller speed integrated with GPS to provide comprehensive compaction information. Presenters will discuss the application of IC from different viewpoints, including academia, industry, and a state department of transportation.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Aggregates and TRB Standing Committee on Geotechnical Instrumentation and Modeling.
