  9. 2004 Investigation A geophysical investigation, to determine the cause of the problem and propose options for remediation, included a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey, a Resistivity Survey, and a Soil Survey (drilling program). No voids were identified beneath or within a couple meters of the pavement. 8/ 8/ 2016 9

  13. Decision +  In 2009, a project was designed for letting that would install a double reinforced inlay, including shoulders, for the designated area of concern on US 18 in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.  In addition to the inlay, the installation of a Time Domain Reflectometry System (TDR) was chosen as a real-time monitoring device for the formation of voids/ sinkholes under the roadway. 8/ 8/ 2016 13

  21. Cables can be grouted into boreholes or trenches to monitor deformation TDR Cable Tester Expansive Cement Grout Crimp In Cable 8/ 8/ 2016 21

  22. Activity up to Present Time 8/ 8/ 2016 22

  23. crimps abrasion Cable shear would produce same reflection as a crimp Ground movement would fracture grout then cable deformation occurs 8/ 8/ 2016 23

  24. Consistent and persistent response on all eight cables Abrasion not Shear Deformation of Cables 8/ 8/ 2016 24

  26. Eastbound STA 248+75 26 8/ 8/ 2016

  27. In Nov 2011 and Jan 2012 exploratory drilling and geophysics did not find voids below pavement 8/ 8/ 2016 27

  28. TIMING – new activity develops between September and March 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 8/ 8/ 2016 28

  29. Possible Causes  Ground Movement – Little or no indication of shear – Movement must cause abrasion  Soil or Grout Shrinkage – Requires sufficient shrinkage to cause abrasion  Frost Heave – Timing of TDR activity does not entirely coincide with period when frost is deepest  Gnawing Animals – IS THIS EVEN A POSSIBILTY?? 8/ 8/ 2016 29

  41. Current Status  The persistence and consistency indicate valid data  The cause of cable abrasion is currently indeterminate  Even with this uncertainty, can still detect cable deformation… so monitoring continues 8/ 8/ 2016 41

  42. Questions for You  The cause of cable abrasion is currently indeterminate  Has anyone seen precursor burrowing by animals in karst areas?  Can you suggest other causes?  Why limited to Sept-March? 8/ 8/ 2016 42
