Abstract:The Materials and Soils Section of the South Dakota Department of highways has been cognizant of the problems connected with design of road surfaces, through the highly expansive Pierre Shales for many years. During these years we have made changes in our methods of design and construction procedures which we believed would tend to reduce the expansion of the soils and its resultant effects. We have consulted with several Materials Engineers, from different parts of the country, in an effort to find a design that would reduce if not completely eliminate the rough surface conditions that develop on roads built on highly expansive soil areas.
