Monograph

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with geology and properties of earth materials. Specific topics addressed include: cold region applications for in-place inclinometers based on microelectromechanical systems technology; seismic waveform tomography at test sites with open chimneys; schedule risk evaluation in subsurface explorations; evaluation of unknown foundations of bridges subjected to scour; and an evaluation of bottom ash as a pavement insulation layer. The issue also covers the generation of hourly climatic data for pavement design from available weather information; the effect of moisture and fine particles in lightweight deflectometer testing; the effect of matric suction on resilient modulus for compacted recycled base course in postcompaction state; bearing capacity of low-volume roads; and the selection of chemical treatments for unpaved roads. In addition, this issue covers the relationship between traffic loading and environmental factors and low-volume road deterioration; the collection of decision support system data through remote sensing of unpaved roads; the economic impact of closing structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges on very low-volume roads; investigating the safety impacts of edgelines on narrow, rural two-lane highways by empirical Bayes method; and assessing the transferability of Highway Safety Manual crash prediction models to data from Italy.
