| 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. | |
