| Title: | Determination of Shear Strength Values for Granular Backfill Materials Used by Wisconsin DOT | |
| PI: | Tuncer Edil Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison |
|
| Project: | This study will determine the correlation of various properties and conditions to the friction angle values. Investigation will also determine the variation in these values and recommend allowable design values for the various materials commonly used for backfill for walls and reinforced slopes. | |
