Subgrade Moisture: Soil Properties, Foundations, Tunnel Reinforcement

摘要

The 9 papers in this report deal with the following areas: characteristics of base and subgrade drainage of pavements; investigation of moisture-induced variation in subgrade modulus by cross-correlation method; matrix suction instrumentation of a vertical moisture barrier; characteristics of red clay of Douglas County, Wisconsin; geotechnical evaluation of loessial soils in Kansas; ultimate bearing capacity of closely spaced strip foundations; ultimate uplift capacity of piles in sand; analysis of a spiling reinforcement system in soft-ground tunneling; and, compactive prestress effects in clays.
