Abstract:• Identify the most effective and economical methods for preventing or
mitigating freeze-thaw damage to granular surfaced roads in seasonally
cold regions
• Construct demonstration test sections using several stabilization
methods recommended in Iowa Highway Research Board (IHRB)
Project TR-632 Low-Cost Rural Surface Alternatives: Literature Review
and Recommendations
• Conduct field and laboratory tests to compare the relative performance
of the demonstration sections before, during, and after seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, under the same set of geological, climate, and traffic
conditions
• Compare construction, maintenance, and projected long-term life-cycle costs to identify the most effective and economical stabilization
methods for minimizing or eliminating freeze-thaw issues before they
occur.
