Title: Investigation of the DCP and SSG as Alternative Methods to Determine Subgrade Stability
PI: Tuncer Edil
UW-Madison
Project: This study evaluated the potential of DCP and SSG for use in on-site subgrade evaluation. Although neither device allows WisDOT to get away from moisture-density testing, they do provide direct, quantifiable assessments of subgrade stiffness and strength, a capability lacking in traditional assessment methods.
