Subgrade Moisture Variations. Interim Report I: Preliminary Planning
The scope of the overall research study is stated to be fourfold: (1) to develop an effective method of measuring long-term subgrade moisture variations, (2) to develop procedures for making these measurements throughout Oklahoma, (3) to relate measured subgrade moisture variations to existing soil, climatological, and highway pavement conditions, and hopefully, (4) to suggest revisions in current design procedures to prolong useful highway life. The nine problems to be solved and the activities for their solution are listed. Current utilization of nuclear equipment by various agencies is reviewed and procedures for calibration of nuclear depth equipment are suggested. The problems of access tube installation are discussed and work in this area by both other agencies and the research project is summarized. Operational theory is given for nuclear depth equipment and a preliminary plan for research project operations is presented. (Author)
