Vibratory Roller Integrated Measurement of Earthwork Compaction: An Overview

Abstract

This paper provides a state of the art overview of vibration based measurement systems used on vibratory roller compactors to continuously measure soil properties during and after earthwork compaction. The European community initiated the development of roller integrated measurement and continuous compaction control (CCC) over 30 years ago. Roller measurement values have since evolved towards the estimation of more mechanistic soil parameters, e.g., stiffness, modulus. Independent assessment of these measurement values has proven their efficacy.
