New Tools to Characterize Geotechnical Site Conditions

This session will discuss the FHWA’s Every Day Counts (EDC)-5 effort known as the “A-GaME”, which is establishing a new standard for enhanced site characterization.  Effective site characterization is critical for recognizing potential problems that may affect design and construction and for ensuring safe, well-performing and cost effective projects. Typical practice involves following minimum standards and using SPT borings at discrete locations, and not using other tools at our disposal such as CPTs, or geophysics televiewers and measurements, while drilling. We can do better than this and bring our A-GaME.
