State Study 151 and 236: Yazoo Clay Investigation

Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDoT) State Study 236 was assigned to the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to analyze MDoT-furnished data, perform testing of Yazoo clay soil samples, and provide guidance concerning Yazoo clay identification and characterization. The first tasked portion was to analyze Yazoo clay data previously collected by MDoT researchers in order to finalize an antecedent study (MDoT State Study 151). The second portion was to conduct and document a lab testing program to include descriptions of test methods, analysis of results, conclusions, and recommendations.
