... 100 Framework of IC Specification The goal of this project was to develop and propose an expanded IC specification that goes further than any existing specification. For this project, success involved ensuring balance and harmony among the technical rigors of the specification, the feasibility and level of effort to obtain the necessary input parameters, the sophistication of the forward model, and the robustness of the backcalculation process.

... Framework of IC Specification 101 AASHTO PP 81-14 was used as a baseline to provide continuity in the development of the specifications. The research team envisions that the SHAs may implement both earthwork specifications, following these major steps: Step 1: Estimating Properties of All Layers.

... 102 Evaluating Mechanical Properties of Earth Material During Intelligent Compaction to predict pavement responses/measurement values. These responses have been calibrated using field measurements.
From page 103...
... Framework of IC Specification 103 harmonization (i.e., the contractors must be able to ensure that the different rollers yield similar ICMVs on the same section)
From page 104...
... 104 Evaluating Mechanical Properties of Earth Material During Intelligent Compaction The research team believes that a balanced approach must be devised to develop a practical tool. Until a device that can continuously measure the moisture content and density (or, better yet, the suction)
