Moisture Movement and Moisture Equilibria in Pavement Systems
The purpose of this project was to develop a satisfactory and realistic procedure for determining moisture movement and moisture equilibria in pavement systems and to develop procedures for using this information in pavement design. The specific objectives of this report were to fulfill the requirements of Phases 2 and 3 as follows: (1) Phase 2: Moisture Movement and Moisture Equilibria Studies. (2) Phase 3: Summarize the study findings and make recommendations to sponsoring agencies regarding the practical application of the findings and utilization of the moisture model in pavement design. The data from the field test sites were analyzed and summarized. From the research, procedures for determining and utilizing hydraulic parameters important to predicting moisture movement and moisture equilibria in soils and pavement materials were developed. By use of the field data and moisture model the influence of climate and intrinsic pavement conditions on subgrade moisture content and pavement behavior were analyzed. It was shown that parameters such as precipitation, temperature, time of year, and water table depth affected subgrade moisture content and pavement behavior. It was indicated that the moisture model provided the capability of predicting moisture content trends and the sensitivity of subgrade soils and pavement materials to various boundary conditions.
