DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS IN ALABAMA

AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SHOW HOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOIL AND MATERIAL EVALUATION HAS GIVEN THE ENGINEERS CRITERIA FOR DESIGNING AND PREDICTING THE SERVICE VALUE OF A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT OVER ANY OF THE ORDINARY SOILS ENCOUNTERED THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THE PAPER CONCERNS ITSELF WITH SUBGRADE SOIL EVALUATION, MATERIALS EVALUATION (GIVING METHODS EMPLOYED), USE OF SOILS AND MATERIALS IN SEQUENCE OF THE SUPPORTING VALUE, AND SURFACE TYPES, THE DESIGN EMPLOYED ON TWO OR MORE ROAD PROJECTS OVER DIFFERENT SOIL TYPES AND EMPLOYING DIFFERENT BASE MATERIALS, AND A BRIEF RESUME OF SERVICE BEHAVIOR OF THESE PROJECTS. /AUTHOR/
