APPLICATION OF AASHO ROAD TEST FINDINGS TO THE DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT STRUCTURES IN SOUTH CAROLINA
FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TENTATIVE PROCEDURE FOR SUBGRADE EVALUATION ARE DESCRIBED. THE TENTATIVE PROCEDURE INVOLVES THE USE OF UNDRAINED TRIAXIAL TESTS FOR EVALUATING THE MODULUS OF DEFORMATION OF SUBGRADE MATERIALS. FROM THIS MODULUS, THE SOIL SUPPORT VALUE OF A SUBGRADE IS DETERMINED, PERMITTING THE APPLICATION OF THE AASHO INTERIM GUIDE GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURE TO THE DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT STRUCTURES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. /AUTHOR/
