The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) has been using the Ohio Highway Department’s (OHD) moisture-density curves for compaction quality control of granular materials. However, the OHD curves were not developed for granular materials, and their use was found to result in inconsistencies...

The relationship between soil erosion rate and bed shear stress is an important problem in sediment transport and scour. However, obtaining reliable measurements of soil erodibility is challenging, both in the field and in the laboratory. The objective of this study is to investigate an experimental...

The utilization of recycled glass in highway applications has been occurring over the past couple of decades. In recent years, the discovery of several economic and environmental benefits could increase the use of recycled glass in highway construction, making the evaluation of the engineering properties...

This project has investigated the performance of the admixtures during and after leaching has occurred. This report presents information in two main areas of investigation. The first is a soil column study to determine downward, one-dimensional solute transport properties and trends of the admixtures...
