Enhancing the Resiliency of Pavement Infrastructure Built on Sulfate-Rich Expansive Soil Subjected to Climate Change (Jul 2024, MPC-24-530)
The study aimed to understand the impacts of extreme climatic conditions such as prolonged droughts and intense precipitation due to climate change on the resilience of civil infrastructures like embankments. The knowledge of unsaturated soil mechanics and soil chemistry is integrated to determine the...
Characterization of Crushed Base Materials in Wyoming (Mar 2019, MPC-19-378)
To improve the pavement design and construction in Wyoming, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) is adopting the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). A full implementation of MEPDG requires the characterization of local crushed base materials. In this research, laboratory...
