LONGITUDINAL CRACKING OF ROADS AND FROST HEAVES. FINAL REPORT

This study combined two projects, one on the longitudinal cracking of roads (Project 92-9) and the other on frost heaves (Project 92-12). Ten sites which had experienced differential settlement and/or longitudinal cracking were instrumented with an Arctic benchmark, PK nails driven into the asphalt, and steel T's driven into the embankment sideslopes. Photographs of the ten sites appear in Appendix A. The raw data collected appears in Appendix B and the reduced data in Appendix C. Pertinent correspondence relative to this project appears in Appendices D and E. Appendix F contains brief semi-annual reports on the two projects. Appendix G contains the project report on Task 3 of 7: Establish Benchmarks and Install Instrumentation.
