Dalton Highway: Characterization of Foundation Soils

C. L. Vita / J. W. Rooney / C. H. Riddle / L. J. Acomb

In this report we present the results of a geotechnical characterization of natural foundation soils along the Dalton Highway from Livengood to Prudhoe Bay. The purpose of the route geotechnical characterization is to help provide DOT/PF a basis for assessing potential foundation soil conditions. Particular emphasis has been given to assessment of foundation soil thaw settlement performance of the Dalton Highway and provision of a means for prioritizing anticipated field studies on planned upgrading of the highway system and for programming possible maintenance requirements related to thaw settlement.
