About the research
Abstract:
A full description of the project is available on the Federal Highway Administration pooled fund study website: http://www.pooledfund.org/Details/Study/359.
CEER team members are involved in the project to provide expertise with compaction monitoring technologies, conduct in-situ testing on field project sites using the Geotechnical Mobile Lab and open houses on field project sites to disseminate project findings, and provide training to agency and industry participants
