County Road 54

  • Gravel Road
  • Primarily serves rural housing development
  • Seasonal agricultural traffic
  • ~ 200 ADT
  • County Funded (non State Aid route)

CR 54 Issues

  • ~$5,000 Annually for Dust Control (CaCl2)
  • Washboards (due to speed/braking)
  • Frequent Blading Required
  • No Funding for traditional base and surfacing

Goals for CR 54

  • Dust Free Road
  • Washboard Free
  • Stand up to Agricultural Traffic
  • Cost Effective

  • Two mix designs
  • One for 8 inch SFDR section, one for 10 inch SFDR

section

  • Relative proportions of gravel to subgrade were

different due to reclamation depths

  • 8” Section Proctor 127.3 pcf at 9.1% moisture
  • 10” Section Proctor 122.6 pcf at 10.5% moisture
  • Target Unconfined Compressive Strength of 250-300

psi at 14 days

  • After lab work was completed the roadways

were graveled and graded, so the roadway had more gravel than the mix designs contained.

  • Likely result was going to be higher strength

than the original mix design

  • Field Testing
  • Nuclear Gauge for Moisture and Density
  • Water was added to soil as necessary to achieve

(or approach) optimum moisture content

  • Rolling Patterns were performed
  • Several Each Day to account for variability in the

roadway materials

  • Density and moisture was checked during

compaction

  • Density was typically >98% of rolling pattern

density

  • Field Testing
  • DCP testing was performed post construction for

strength verification

  • Target strengths (minimums)
  • CBR of 20 in 2 days
  • CBR of 50 in 7 days
  • Strengths measured greatly exceeded the targets
