Title: FIELD STUDY OF TWO ROAD SECTIONS DURING A FREEZE-THAW CYCLE
Accession Number: 00625712
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The behavior of roadways depends on many parameters generally not well known, particularly in areas in which climatic conditions are severe in winter. Two road sections have been instrumented to understand how frost and thaw actions are related to climate and the availability of water. Field data monitored by a dedicated data acquisition system were used to measure air temperature, thermal soil conditions, frost heave, total stress, and bearing capacity by the Benkelman beam test. The results show that automatic monitoring improves the ability to detect short thaw events during freezing. Furthermore, accurate knowledge of air temperatures and the thermal conditions of the soil are useful in the interpretation of bearing capacity measurements with the Benkelman beam test.
