Title: Determination of Influences on Support Strength of Crushed Aggregate Base Course Due to Gradational, Regional, and Source Variations
PI: Paul Eggen
OMNNI Associates, Inc.
Project: Approximately 10 million tons of crushed aggregate base course (CABC) are used annually in Wisconsin in highway construction. This research determined load-carrying effects related to CABC variables such as gradation, angularity and stone type found in various sand and gravel deposits and stone quarries throughout Wisconsin.
