Water Susceptible Properties of Silt Loam Soil in Sub grades in South West Pennsylvania
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Water susceptible properties of subgrade soils play important role in the structural design of highways. In this research study laboratory investigations were conducted on subgrade soil samples for determining the influence of water susceptible properties on Natural moisture content, Optimum moisture content, Compaction, California Bearing Ratio (CBR)-soaked and unsoaked, and Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS). All tests were done using appropriate ASTM standards. Relationships were developed using regression equations for predicting the performance of seven engineering variables.
