A Survey of Road Construction and Maintenance Problems in Central Alaska
A survey of road construction and maintenance problems in central Alaska is presented. The problems of poor fill and foundation material, permafrost degradation under pavement and shoulders, slope instability, water erosion, road icing from subsurface seepage, and culvert icing are described. Possible solutions to road maintenance problems in central Alaska include the use of insulating materials in permafrost areas, MESL construction when non-frost-susceptible soils are unavailable, and the use of improved drainage in areas where extensive icing occurs. Bridge damage, erosion of sidehill cuts and embankment instability are also discussed and potential solutions are given. (Author)
