Embankment Construction Without Moisture-Density Control
This project was established to supply information as to the eventual condition of fills and cuts constructed in arid regions of Colorado without moisture or density control. Thin-wall pipes have been placed in certain fills for studies of moisture and density with nuclear probes. Initial moisture-density values were determined by conventional methods from the inside of 36 inch diameter holes drilled deep into the fills. During this period, the Department of Highways, State of Colorado put under contract two additional projects that did not require moisture and density control. These projects were: (1) S 0022(2), Broomfield - SH 93; (2) F 016-1(38), Turkey Creek Canyon East. Moisture and density data were gathered on these projects during construction so that comparisons could be made with data obtained from the Four Corners Project. Data from a previously constructed project between Limon and Agate is also quite comparable to data from the Four Corners Area. (Author)
