Field Evaluation of Geogrid-Reinforced Pavement Systems on Soft Subgrades (Aug 2024, MPC-24-539)
A research section was built within a major highway to compare the performance of different geosynthetic-reinforced pavement systems. The first test section contained no geosynthetic reinforcement. The second section was reinforced with a layer of geogrid. In the third test section, geotextile was placed...
Evaluation of Secondary Consolidation Settlement Associated with Embankment Construction for Fast-paced Transportation Projects (Oct 2020, MPC-20-422)
This report discusses the design and implementation of surcharging technology and the required laboratory, field, and engineering evaluations. It is hoped that such information will provide a more consistent and technically defensible rationale for deploying this technology on highway projects constructed...
