their series of triaxial tests that the ability
to lower the moisture content in unsaturated materials has highly beneficial
implications regarding increasing the
base course resilient modulus and reducing its permanent deformation due to the
presence of excess moisture.
This research project also showed that
the zone of influence of the ELDG on the
overlying base course is 8 to 10 inches
(200 to 250 mm) during the short evaluation time of the project. This zone of
influence is included in the quantification
of the hydraulic benefit the ELDG brings
to an overlying base course developed as
part of this research.
This project led to a method that
incorporates the hydraulic benefits of
the ELDG in the 1993 AASHTO Flexible
Pavement Structural Design Method.
Accomplishing this is a four-step process. (1) Incorporate mechanical stabilization within a pavement design. (2)
For a predetermined time frame (five
years, for example), determine the
dates upon which rain events of sufficient intensity to saturate the overlying
granular layer occur. (3) For the same
time frame, determine the number of
days with average temperatures below
