This report describes the monitoring and evaluation of a field site where Class C fly ash was used to stabilize the subgrade during construction of a rigid pavement in a portion of USH 12 near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. ...

A new method of examining soil stiffness based on the propagation of elastic waves is proposed and compared to traditional resilient modulus tests. A laboratory testing program is undertaken to study the effect of changing ...

This study will determine the correlation of various properties and conditions to the friction angle values. Investigation will also determine the variation in these values and recommend allowable design values for the ...

This report introduced the research begun in 1999 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to further understand aspects of geosynthetic-reinforced subbases in a pavement system. To learn more about how the performance of ...

Abstract Soil/pile set-up is time-dependent increase in pile capacity, and can contribute significantly to long-term pile capacity. If it were possible to incorporate the effects of set-up during design, it may be possible ...

This study was conducted to develop a methodology to incorporate the structural contribution of working platforms, including those constructed with industrial by-products, into the design of flexible pavements. Structural ...

The use of the soil stiffness gauge (SSG) and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) for earthwork property evaluation is investigated in this study. SSG and DCP survey data of natural earthen materials, industrial by-products, ...

A study was conducted to define an equivalency criterion for five materials used for working platforms during pavement construction on a poor subgrade: conventional crushed rock (referred to as "breaker run") and four ...

This report describes a comparison of basic laboratory test results with more sophisticated laboratory and in situ tests methods on soils in Southeastern Wisconsin. The generated soils data in the Milwaukee Marquette ...

Alternative methods for providing a stable platform over soft subgrades were evaluated using a 1.4-km section along a Wisconsin state highway that incorporated twelve test sections to evaluate nine different stabilization ...
