| Title: | Effective Depth of Soil Compaction in RElation to Applied Compactive Energy | |
| PI: | Dante Fratta |
|
| Project: | This research will collect data and develop analyses needed to determine optimum life thickness for WisDOT embankment construction projects. The results will establish a relationship between the applied compaction energy and the level of compaction achieved at increasing depths for a number of different soils and moisture contents. The data, analyses, and correlations will help WisDOT officials in proposing possible revisions to current constructions specifications including embankments. The successful completion of this research will also help WisDOT officials in improving construction operations by creating more stable and economical subgrade structures | |
