Abstract:
Pavements in many parts of Texas seek frequent maintenance owing to the distress caused by cyclic swelling and shrinking of underlying highly expansive subgrade soil. Research indicates that rainwater intrusion from the edge and cracks on pavement surface is the major cause of such swelling and shrinkage. In this study, an attempt was made to stabilize a pavement section constructed over highly expansive subgrade soil in Frost, Texas using combination of geosynthetic materials referred to as modified moisture barrier.
