Monitoring Curing of Emulsion-Stabilized Roadways Using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
Several counties in Minnesota have used an emulsified asphalt to stabilize unimproved gravel highways in rural areas. This has been done in hopes of reducing dust on such roads, reducing the frequency and extent of maintenance, and improving ride quality. As applications of such a stabilization technique increase, the need to investigate and quantify the benefits of this technique is becoming more important. Several county roads in rural Blue Earth County, in south central Minnesota, were stabilized and monitored during the fall of 2005. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer measurements were taken periodically for several months following the stabilization of two gravel roads using emulsified asphalt. Due to the nature of the emulsion compound, the stabilized material was expected to increase in stiffness with time as curing of the emulsion occurred. The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer results verified that the stiffness did increase with time as expected with this stabilization process.
