• 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.
