Test method to determine aggregate/asphalt adhesion properties and potential moisture damage
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2007-05)
The aim of this research project was to improve current practice by investigating different test methods to quantify moisture damage in an effort to serve the short and long term needs of the agency and industry. In the ...
Life-cycle cost analysis of SMA pavements and SMA application guidelines
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2006-08)
The objective of this research project was to provide a comparative cost analysis of pavements constructed using stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures versus those built with Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT?s) ...
Performance assessment of Wisconsin's whitetopping and ultra-thin whitetopping projects
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2010-03)
Whitetopping (WT) overlay is a concrete overlay on the prepared existing hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement to improve both the structural and functional capability. It?s a relatively new rehabilitation technology for deteriorated ...
Development of in-place permeability criteria for HMA pavement in Wisconsin
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2007-02)
The purpose of this study is the development of permeability and density acceptance criteria for hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements in Wisconsin. The work detailed in this report is Phase I of II. Databases from the Pavement ...
Performance evaluation of open graded base course with doweled and non-doweled transverse joints on USH 18/151, STH 29, and USH 151
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2010-09)
The objectives of this study were to investigate the performance of 20-year old doweled/non-doweled and dense-graded/permeable base test sections on three concrete pavement segments in Wisconsin: USH 18/151 in Iowa and ...
Effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilizing soft subgrades
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-12)
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 ...
Determination of resilient modulus values for typical plastic soils in Wisconsin
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2011-09)
A new input Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) must develop for use of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide is resilient modulus of ...
Guidelines for improving full-depth repair of PCC pavements in Wisconsin
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2008-03)
This document presents recommendations for improving full-depth repair of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in Wisconsin. It is not intended to be used as a standard by itself, but rather as a supplement to current ...
Field evaluation performance of subbases constructed with industrial byproducts
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-10)
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 ...
Investigation of new devices for use in determining mechanistic properties and performance
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-11)
The objective of this report is to provide the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) with an in-depth discussion of the various alternatives currently available for evaluating asphalt concrete mixtures and pavements ...
