LABORATORY STRENGTH TESTS-FLORIDA STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT TEST PIT MATERIALS

STATIC AND REPEATED FREE-END TRIAXIAL TEST RESULTS ARE COMPARED TO RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE FLORIDA LIMEROCK BEARING RATIO (LBR) AND TO CARBONATE CONTENTS OF SEVEN DIFFERENT LIMEROCKS. THE LBR AND CARBONATE CONTENT WERE NOT FOUND TO BE RELATED TO STRENGTH PARAMETERS DETERMINED BY EITHER THE STATIC OR REPEATED TRIAXIAL TEST. THIS INDICATES THAT THE PRESENT LIMEROCK FLORIDA SPECIFICATIONS ARE NOT RELATED TO STRENGTH PARAMETERS DETERMINED BY THE LABORATORY STRENGTH TESTS STUDIED IN THIS RESEARCH. NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO RELATE THE LABORATORY STRENGTH TESTS TO PERFORMANCE. /BPR/
