Calibration of a Dynamic Penetrometer for Compaction Quality Control of Boiler Slag
A dynamic penetrometer was designed for the purpose of evaluating compaction quality in fills constructed with boiler slag. Laboratory and field calibration tests were conducted to study the effect of densification on dynamic penetration resistance. The effects of specimen preparation method (pluviation and impact compaction) and saturation on dynamic penetration resistance were investigated in ...

Forensic investigation of flexible pavements in Ohio
This paper presents the results of a forensic investigation initiated by the Ohio Department of Transportation in 2006 to determine the reasons for differences in performance of flexible pavements in Ohio. Ten projects with average performance and ten projects with excellent performance were selected for study. Falling Weight Deflectometer and ride quality measurements were taken along all ...

A Statistical Methodology to Analyze the Effect of Changes in Testing Technology on Measurement Results
In the field of soil mechanics and highway engineering, there is great interest in the comparison of two different instruments or two different measuring technologies that measure the same characteristics of given items (or samples). This interest holds also for comparison of semi-identical instruments having minor changes in a given testing technology. All such comparisons involve statistical ...

Bio-Stabilization of Unconsolidated Base Materials - Case Study
Rural roads in southwestern Manitoba and across Canada suffer from chronic rapid deterioration requiring expensive ongoing maintenance. The current research is an integral part of the initial attempt at stabilizing rural gravel roads with the introduction of aggregate gravel materials with a high content of reactive clays, organic catalysts, in conjunction with the use and application of ...

Bio-stabilization of unconsolidated base materials (Abstract)
Rural roads in southwestern Manitoba and across Canada suffer from chronic rapid deterioration requiring expensive ongoing maintenance. The current research is an integral part of the initial attempt at stabilizing rural gravel roads with the introduction of aggregate gravel materials with a high content of reactive clays, organic catalysts, in conjunction with the use and application of ...
