The drive towards the adoption of mechanistic pavement design methodologies has led to the adoption of stiffness-based tests by several state highway agencies for earthwork quality control and possibly acceptance. Current field quality management (with or without stiffness-based devices) requires spot tests to be conducted at a few points for a specified lot size. For this reason, a process to represent the uniformity of the compaction in a continuous manner is crucial. Proof rolling or mapping of geomaterials using intelligent compaction (IC) rollers after completing the compaction can effectively assess the compaction uniformity of the compacted layers. A protocol for project acceptance of earthwork that integrates the IC roller with a deflection-based device is proposed. Through interaction with contractors and owner agency representatives and based on a database of IC and spot test results at numerous sites, utmost attention has been paid to making the protocol as real-time and practical as possible. The protocol seems to address some of the main concerns frequently raised as a reason for the lack of momentum in the implementation of the more mechanistic quality management approaches.

集成智能压实技术和基于模量的测试以进行设计验证

对采用机械路面设计方法学的追求导致一些州高速公路机构采用基于刚度的测试来控制土方工程质量并可能接受。当前的现场质量管理（使用或不使用基于刚度的设备）要求针对指定的批量在几个点上进行现场测试。因此，以连续方式表示压实均匀性的过程至关重要。在完成压实之后，使用智能压实（IC）辊对地球材料进行打样或制图可以有效评估压实层的压实均匀性。提出了一种土方工程验收协议，该协议将IC滚轴与基于挠度的设备集成在一起。通过与承包商和所有者代理机构的代表进行互动，并基于许多地点的IC数据库和现场测试结果，人们对使该协议尽可能实时和实用的关注得到了最大的关注。该协议似乎解决了一些经常引起的主要关注，这是在实施更具机械性的质量管理方法时缺乏动力的原因。
