Includes AASHTO Drafts: Standard Method of Test for Laboratory Determination of Target Modulus Using Light-Weight Deflectometer (LWD) Drops on Compacted Proctor Mold – AASHTO Designation: TP 123-01 (2017) Standard Method of Test for Compaction Quality Control Using...
This paper summarizes key findings from QC/QA tests performed on full-scale pavement test sections in a recent Illinois Center for Transportation research study. The focus was to validate newly adopted Illinois DOT material specifications for large size unconventional...
Transportation agencies commonly use large size aggregates, often referred to as rock cap or aggregate subgrade, e.g., by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), for stabilizing weak subgrades at wet of optimum moisture states. Adequate characterization of these...
Use of unconventional aggregate materials, such as primary crusher run and concrete demolition waste, have become viable for the construction of pavement working platforms over very weak and often wet subgrade soils. To this end, a research study was undertaken at the...
The objective of this research was to develop a modulus-based construction specification for acceptance of compacted geomaterials that considers the following constraints: The specification should be based on field measurement of modulus and moisture content....
