Description
An extensive pavement material sampling and testing program was devised and carried out during construction of the Minnesota Road Research Project (Mn/ROAD).
This guide provides comprehensive information regarding the type and location of soil and base material samples collected from the Mn/ROAD project. Information regarding nondestructive soil testing is provided which includes Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) and Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing.
Material sample information provided is divided into sample types, then into proposed research applications. Sample locations and proposed laboratory tests are shown. Testing locations for the nondestructive tests conducted on the project are provided. Information listed in a "Mn/ROAD ID#" column provides a unique identification to each sample. This sample identification can be used to request samples or obtain test result data contained in the Mn/ROAD database.
During construction of the Mn/ROAD project, approximately one third of the samples collected were immediately tested to characterize the subgrade layers of the project. The remaining samples were put into storage for future research needs.
Appendices A, B and C contain descriptions of Mn/ROAD database tables related to soil samples and nondestructive tests. Test cell profile diagrams are provided in Appendix D.
