... 0 7.4.7 Calibration area Option 3 requires the establishment of an MV-TV prior to acceptance testing in an Evaluation Section. If possible, a portion of the Evaluation Section should be used as the Calibration Area.
From page 111...
...   7.5.3 verification of roller mv repeatability and gpS position reporting Roller MVs must be repeatable (i.e., repeated Measurement Passes over the same, fully compacted material must exhibit similar magnitudes and trends)

...  ter. This can also be accomplished by establishing a marker of known position on the ground and approaching the marker with the roller from different directions.
From page 113...
...   An important premise of Option 1 is that there is a positive correlation between Roller MV and soil compaction (i.e., the lowest Roller MVs correspond to lowest compaction)
From page 114...
...  % – – – ∆MV MV MV MVi i i i = ×1 1 100 (7.3) This spatial analysis involves transforming the Roller MV data onto a fixed grid for direct comparison.

...   7.8.3 determination of mv-Tv for Qa option 3c: relating roller mv to labdetermined properties In this approach the MV-TV is established through empirical correlation to laboratory-determined engineering properties (e.g., M r ) based on a preselected combination of moisture contents and dry unit weights.
