... 0 9.1 Overview NCHRP Project 21-09, "Intelligent Soil Compaction Systems," involved extensive field testing and analysis to better understand roller-integrated CCC and IC and to develop recommended specifications for the use of roller-integrated CCC in QA of soil and aggregate base material compaction. The quality of constructed earthwork materials is clearly critical to the performance of pavements.
From page 151...
...   A considerable body of literature exists pertaining to roller vibration, roller-integrated measurement systems, roller modeling, and correlation of roller MVs to spot-test measurements. The modeling of vibratory roller-soil interaction has evolved with experimental studies of roller behavior.
From page 152...
...  Roller MV uncertainty will influence the establishment of QA criteria for spatial differences in pass-to-pass roller MVs as described in Chapter 7. Roller-integrated measurement of soil stiffness is not currently standardized (i.e., magnitude and rate of loading, etc.)

...   havior within the bulb of soil reflected in roller MVs. In base, subbase, and subgrade structures, modulus varies widely from layer to layer and within layers.
From page 154...
...  areas of positive MV-A dependence (MVs increased with increasing A) and negative MV-A dependence (MVs decreased with increasing A)

...   point measurements were not statistically significant in the analysis. Moisture content was found to be significant for two nongranular subgrade layer test beds and one granular base layer test bed.
From page 156...
...  Acceptance testing for all specification options is performed on evaluation sections. Proper selection of evaluation sections that exhibit consistently distributed heterogeneity (or homogeneity)

...  with Option 1 to improve reliability. Similarly, specification Option 2b uses the percentage change in spatial roller MV data as the basis for QA.
