Feasibility of Using Membrane-Enveloped Soil Layers as Pavement Elements for Multiple-Wheel Heavy Gear Loads
The investigation reported herein was conducted to (a) determine the feasibility of using membrane-enveloped soil layers (MESL) as structural elements in flexible pavements and (b) investigate the performance of MESL construction under multiple-wheel heavy gear load (MWHGL) traffic. A test section was constructed within the existing MWHGL test section at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station utilizing the existing 4-CBR clay subgrade. The performance of the test items under traffic showed that the concept of utilizing MESL's as structural elements in pavement construction is feasible. (Author)
