Monograph

This collection of 13 papers is presented in two parts. Part 1, Pavements: Geotechnical Properties of Materials, discusses the following topics: rockfill embankment settlement; evaluation of the light falling weight deflectometer (FWD); performance deformation and critical stress of cohesive soil under repeated loading; elastic nonlinear finite element analysis of a flexible pavement subjected to FWD loads; mechanistic classification of unbound materials; skid resistance of unpaved roads; gravel roads surface performance modeling; seismic methods for assessment of debonding in concrete slabs; assessing early age delamination distress; and genetic algorithms-based network optimization system with multiple objectives. Part 2, Characterization of Rock Slopes and Subsurfaces; Biochemical Processes in Soils, examines the following topics: estimating rock slope stability using logistic regression analysis; ground proving seismic refraction tomography programs; and Monod kinetics for aerobic biodegradation of calcium magnesium acetate.
