Establishment of subgrade undercut criteria and performance of alternative stabilization measures / by Borden, Roy H.(CARDINAL)205371; North Carolina State University.Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.(CARDINAL)307977; North Carolina.Department of Transportation.(CARDINAL)145570;
The scope of this research includes the development of criteria to define the need for undercutting, the depth of the undercut, and the quality of the backfill material such that the cost and performance are optimized. In addition, chemical stabilization and geosynthetics reinforcement, in combination with several thicknesses of the ABC were studied to provide comparative criteria for the enhancement of various poor subgrade soils encountered in N.C. with, or in lieu of, undercut and replacement with select fill. The criteria are presented along with the associated relative costs of each alternative.Includes bibliographical references (pages 272-283).Introduction -- Literature review -- Test materials characterization -- Prototype experimental design via field measurements and numerical models -- Prototype testing and quality control -- Prototype test quality control -- Testing results -- Comparative stabilization performance -- Numerical model, input parameters and calibration -- Undercut criteria -- Simulation of field cases -- Cost analysis -- Summary and conclusions.
