• Abstract:
  The report describes the first testing series, Phase, of the first project, Experiment 1, with the Louisiana Transportation Research Center Accelerated Loading Facility. The background to the project is described and details of the trial pavements site and the ALF are given. The objective of the first experiement is "to evaluate alternative soil-cement base courses with reduced shrinkage cracking but no loss of structural capacity", and for this, the scope of the project was established as "to compare the performance on nine base courses under accelerated loading to failure".
