Equilibrium Matric Suctions in Subgrade Soils in Oklahoma Based on Thornthwaite Moisture Index (TMI)
Climatic factors play a significant role in pavement design due to the impact of these parameters on pavement performance. Thornthwaite moisture index (TMI), a climatic parameter, is widely used in geotechnical engineering, as well as other disciplines, to evaluate the changes in moisture conditions in near surface soils in the unsaturated zone. This paper evaluates historical climatic data acquired from Mesonet weather stations across Oklahoma for pavement applications. Based on the TMI values calculated from the historical climatic data by applying three different models, contour maps have been created using ArcGIS software. This paper also builds the relationships between equilibrium suction and TMI values in subgrade soils and compares the results among three TMI models.
