Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to investigate and test the feasibility of various new techiques for constructing bridge approach roads across soft ground. A test section containing seven test items was constructed on a soft clay subgrade which had an average strength of 0.9 CBR. Accelerated traffic tests were conducted using various loads on a 5-ton military dump truck. Traffic was recorded in terms of coverages of equivalent 18-kip single-axle, dual-wheel load operations. A major finding of this investigation was the potential use of sand-confinement systems for base courses over soft subgrades. Both a large-volume confinement system and a small-volume system outperformed the crushed stone control item by a substantial margin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was a follow-up of the Bridge Approach Study reported in U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Technical Report S-77-1, February 1977, titled 'Investigation of Construction Techniques for Tactical Bridge Approach Roads Across Soft Ground.' During the Bridge Approach Study, several construction techniques compatible with wet weather construction were investigated for the building of bridge approach roads over soft ground. Results showed that thickness requirements for unsurfaced roads could be reduced substantially using aggregate-membrane construction concepts. Another finding was the potential use of sand-confinement systems for base courses as an expedient construction technique not adversely affected by wet weather conditions. The objectives of this study were (a) to conduct additional tests on the aggregate-membrane concept; (b) to investigate the use of sand-filled confinement grids as an expedient wet weather concept for base course layers; and (c) to analyze and combine the results of this study with those of the Bridge Approach Study. To accomplish these objectives, a test section containing six items was constructed and subjected to accelerated traffic using two different loads on a 5-ton military cargo truck.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Ground Improvement Engineering written by Jeffrey Evans and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ground improvement has been one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of geotechnical engineering and construction over the past 40 years. The need to develop sites with marginal soils has made ground improvement an increasingly important core component of geotechnical engineering curricula. Fundamentals of Ground Improvement Engineering addresses the most effective and latest cutting-edge techniques for ground improvement. Key ground improvement methods are introduced that provide readers with a thorough understanding of the theory, design principles, and construction approaches that underpin each method. Major topics are compaction, permeation grouting, vibratory methods, soil mixing, stabilization and solidification, cutoff walls, dewatering, consolidation, geosynthetics, jet grouting, ground freezing, compaction grouting, and earth retention. The book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate-level university students, as well as practitioners seeking fundamental background in these techniques. The numerous problems, with worked examples, photographs, schematics, charts and graphs make it an excellent reference and teaching tool.
