The resilient modulus (MR) of subgrade soils represents a fundamental parameter in pavement design by quantifying the elastic response of the soil under repeated traffic loads. This property, which ...

Regardless of how much experience an equipment operator has, it is difficult to achieve uniform compaction over a sizable area without the help of technology. Without technology, equipment operators ...

Researchers have developed new “intelligent compaction” technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can ...

Soil compaction is a global threat to soil ecosystem services, causing tremendous costs to society. The costs of soil compaction are borne by the cumulative loss of soil functionality (e.g. yield loss ...

Soil compaction is a major challenge for many arable farmers, exacerbated by the intensification of operations and trafficking of large machinery – not to mention recent waterlogging leaving soils ...
