Development of Stiffness Measuring Device for Foot Pad Roller Sensor for Pavements

The aim of this project is to develop a measurement approach to determine mechanistic soil properties (e.g. stiffness, modulus) continuously in real time during static compaction of fine and mixed grain soils with a pad-foot roller compactor.
