• Abstract:
  The research ; program consisted of three ; distinct ; activities. The first activity was a continuation of ; the monitoring of environmental instrumentation ; under select pavement sections constructed by the ; Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in ; 1995 on US 23 in Delaware ; County, Ohio. The ; measurements made by the OSU team at that site ; consisted of soil moisture, temperature and frost ; depth profiles. The installation procedures along ; with the data collected over an eight year period ; were described in two previous reports ; . ; In the second activity, OSU constructed and ; installed ten ; siometers to directly measure the ; pore water pressures in the subsurface soils at seven ; locations at the DEL23 SHRP test road (four during ; original road construction and three more in 2002). ; Those d ; evices were monitored throughout the ; duration of the current project. ; In the third activity, a laboratory testing ; program was conducted to identify relationships ; between static soil properties and the design ; resilient modulus for compacted cohesive subgra ; de ; soils. Resilient modulus as well as classification and ; strength tests were performed on cohesive soil ; samples. The program to establish the relationships ; between dynamic soil behavior and static properties ; i ; s described and ; a ; predictive tool ; developed th ; rough ; the ; use of artificial neural networks ; is presented.
