Federal Highway AdministrationNieves, AntonioFederal Highway AdministrationThis Tech Brief represents the second in a series of three tech briefs that are targeted at sharing information about intelligent compaction (IC) technology and helping to promote its use throughout the U.S. The first Tech Brief provides an Executive Summary that provides background information, a detailed description of the technology, and identifies the advantages and implementation considerations. It is applicable to IC for both soil/ subbase and hot-mix asphalt/ warm-mix asphalt (HMA/WMA) construction. Using the findings of recent demonstration projects, this Tech Brief provides information that demonstrates the field application of this technology for soil and subbase materials.74
