The purpose of this paper was to review Intelligent Compaction (IC) techniques, which is regarded relatively new to the railroad roadbed construction activity. Most of civil structures are built on roadbed that supposed to provide adequate load bearing support to the upper structure through the qualified compaction process. However, it is not uncommon for structure failure attributed to inadequate compaction control take place in field sites. Unlike traditional compaction control method to check field density at several locations, IC techniques continuously measure various compaction quality indices that represent compaction uniformity. In this paper, a series of literature review relevant to IC techniques was conducted to provide concise summary on the following categories: 1) background of IC technique; 2) Summary of IC vendors and basic principles; 3) modeling of IC behavior, and 4) case study along with correlation between IC with other measurements. In summary, IC technologies seem to be promising in future railroad construction to achieve better compaction quality control so that the serviceability of railroad can be ensured with minimizing rehabilitation and maintenance activities.

It is important to pay careful attention to construction backfill for the structural integrity of concrete box culvert. The stability of the surrounding soil is important to the structural performance of most culverts. Good compaction by the dynamic compaction roller with big capacity is as effective as good backfill materials to increase the structural integrity of culvert. However structural distress of the culvert could be occur due to the excessive earth pressure by dynamic compaction load. In this study, 16 box culverts were constructed with various compaction materials and construction methods. Three types of on-site soils such as subbase, subgrade and roadbed materials were used as backfill materials in the test program. Compaction methods were adapted based on the site conditions. In most cases, dynamic compaction rollers with 10 to 16 ton weights were used and vibration speed were applied from 2400 to 2500 rpm for the great compaction energy. Some backfill compactions with good quality soils were carried out to examine the effect of EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) panels with changes of compaction thickness. This paper presents the main results of the research conducted to access the engineering performance of the backfill materials. The characteristics of earth pressures are discussed. It is observed that subgrade and roadbed materials are needed more careful compaction than subbase materials. It is shown that EPS panels are effective to mitigate dynamic lateral earth pressure on the culverts. It is also obtained that the dynamic pressure depends on the soil properties. In addition, the coefficient of dynamic earth pressure (K$\sub$dyn/=ΔP$\sub$H/ ΔP$\sub$V/) during compaction is discussed.

New technology and construction methods in civil engineering area have been noticeably improved associated with the industrial development. However, thicknesses of a lift is strictly specified for subgrade and roadbed embankment as 20 cm and 30 cm in the specification of Korea Highway. Since there has been a problem to get enough amount of soils to be used for compaction, the rocks have been replaced for those. However, there is no guideline for the quality control of rock while changing compaction efficiency of equipment and physical properties of reck while changing compaction method such as thicknesses of a lift, number of compaction and etc. The main objective of this research is to establish the specification for the rock compaction method of embankment which including thickness of lift and quality control method in Korea Expressway.

In this paper, Rigid Reinforced Roadbed(RRR) which is expected to have highly applicability to railroad roadbed, was introduced and field tests results were analyzed. Full scale model with 5m height concerning a single track railroad roadbed was constructed. The model had four different sections, which was to assess the effect of geogrid length, spacing, and connection method on deformation characteristics of RRR. Laser displacement meter, earth pressure cell, piezometer, and strain gauge were installed in order to analyze the behavior of reinforced embankment during construction. Horizontal displacements caused by compaction at each section were 20~30% below the displacement limit that of general reinforced retaining wall, which showed that RRR was very stable structure. Maximum tensile strength of reinforcement was withing 10% of the long-term design strength.

Concrete track will be constructed in Gyungbu High Speed Railway II(GHSR II) stage construction site from Daegu to Busan. Concrete track is supported by substructure consisting of the original ground and embankment and does not allow the settlement of track because of its structural type. The embankment is composed of rock and soil mixture and settlement is feasible. So management of settlement of embankment is key point in successful construction of the concrete track. Compaction management of mixed fill materials is important in minimizing the settlement of embankment. In this study, in order to assess the compaction characteristics of mixed fill materials, large laboratory compaction tests were conducted. Mixed fill materials were obtained from two construction sites in GHSR II construction site. Modeled mixed fill materials having different rock type, fine content, maximum particle diameter, and moisture contents were prepared. From the test results, compaction characteristics of mixed fill materials were analysed.

Reinforced roadbeds are valued from the point of view of maintenance as well as enhanced mechanical capacity. They support more train load and less transmit to the sub-layers than general roadbeds. Also, the lateral sloping surface of the reinforced roadbed and its low permeability, achieved by the controlled compaction, increase drainage capability and prevent the softening of sub-layers. In the study, a series of cross-hole tests was performed to observe the temporal changes in the stiffness of reinforced roadbeds, if any, due to the cyclic loading of trains and alternating rainy and frozen seasons at Pyeong-taek experimental site. The three types of reinforced roadbed materials are slag, crushed stones, and soils, and the thickness of all the reinforced roadbeds is 0.8m. The stiffness of the slag and soil reinforced roadbeds was not changed or slightly decreased. The stiffness of the crushed stone was somewhat increased and is inferred to being densified close to surface.

More strict construction control of railway roadbeds is demanded in high speed railway system because of heavier repeated dynamic loading than conventional railways. The aim of this study is to propose a compaction control methodology of crushed-rock-soil-fills including as large particles as $200\sim300mm$ in diameter, which are easily encountered in high speed railway roadbed. Field tensity evaluation and in turn compaction control of such crushed-rock-soil-fills are almost impossible by conventional methods such as in-situ density measurements or plate loading tests. The proposed method consists of shear wave measurements of compaction specimens in laboratory and in-situ measurements of fills. In other words, compaction control can be carried out by comparing laboratory and field shear wave velocities using as a compaction control parameter. The proposed method was implemented at a soil site in the beginning and will be expanded to crushed-rock-soil-fills in future. One interesting result is that similar relationship of shear wave velocity and water content was obtained as that of density and water content with the maximum value at the optimum moisture content.
