Instrumentation of SHRP Pavements
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) constructed a series of 34 instrumented pavement test sections in 1995 on U.S. 23 in Delaware County, Ohio. An Ohio State University (OSU) team calibrated, installed and monitored Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) environmental instrumentation on five sections. The measurements made consisted of soil moisture and temperature and frost depth profiles from the pavement surface down to a depth of about two meters. Descriptions of the installation procedures along with the first two years of data were presented in the final report titled 'Seasonal Instrumentation of SHRP Pavements-The Ohio State University State Job No. 14586(0); Contract No. 8011,' dated September, 1998. In addition to the SHRP instrumentation, OSU developed and constructed tensiometers to directly measure the pore water pressures in the subsurface soils and installed the devices at four locations. Additional tensiometers were constructed and installed at three more test sections at the US 23 Site in 2002. All the environmental instruments continued to be monitored throughout the term of the project. The data from all the readings are presented and discussed in subsequent sections. In conjunction with this program to measure in the field the in situ properties of the subsurface materials over an extended time period, a laboratory program to evaluate the elastic properties of a representative sampling of soils typically encountered in pavement construction in the state was begun. Specifically, testing was performed with the intent to identify relationships between static soil properties routinely measured in the laboratory and the resilient modulus of cohesive sub grade soils.
