New circular track for testing road surface, base, and subgrade is built on concrete tank for subgrade moisture control; simulated traffic is supplied by pair of truck wheels at ends of steel girder pivoted in center of track; wheel load is varied by placing concrete blocks on girder; first tests are on lime-fly ash aggregate as road base.
