A Revaluation of Triaxial Testing of Remolded Soils and Pavement Design Methods

摘要

The study revaluates the Texas Triaxial Testing and Design method for remolded soils as used by the Louisiana Department of Highways considering the pertinent theories and results of other studies. A large number of samples were tested and results were studied by making use of such means as time-motion studies and computers. It has been found that to overcome discrepencies in the moisture distribution and initial stress distribution, and to eliminate undetected friction losses, certain modifications were necessary. These modifications have been instrumental in producing data which are considered to be more reproducible than the data produced originally. (Author)
