• Abstract:
  Construction on this project started in September 1990 and was completed in the summer of 1991. A background of the stabilization agents, their uses, advantages and disadvantages is explained in the MDOT construction report titled “Field Trial of Gravel Stabilization Methods”, Experimental Construction Report 92-34, printed December 1991. This report also provided preliminary design results as well as test results obtained during construction. In addition to the test results, a plan for long term monitoring was also included in Appendix G and reproduced for this report in Table 1. Some of the features to be monitored are rutting and serviceability, such as roughness and overall performance. Strength measurements using pavement deflection was also suggested. Most of the evaluations can be performed with the Automatic Road Analyzer and Falling Weight Deflectometer test vehicles. Long term monitoring of the calcium chloride is specifically mentioned. For this phase they recommend boring test holes and sampling the base every 5th year to monitor the possibility of leaching calcium chloride.
