DESCRIPTION:Vibratory rollers and plates are used to improve the strength 
 and\ndeformation properties of soil during construction. The vibration\nch
 aracteristics\, if monitored\, can be exploited to assess the condition of
 \nthe soil during and after construction. This presentation describes the\
 nresults of a research effort to extract soil stiffness during the vibrato
 ry\nplate and roller compaction process. To understand roller-measured sti
 ffness\nreadings\, in-situ stress-strain behavior was characterized during
  vibratory\nroller passes. \n
