| 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. | TAC Meeting for TPF-5(183) Improving the Foundation Layers for Concrete Pavements |
The objective of the Foundation Layers project is to improve the construction methods, economic analysis and selection of materials, in-situ testing and evaluation, and development of performance-related specifications for the pavement foundation layers. The outcome of this study will be conclusive findings that make pavement foundations more durable, uniform, constructible, and economical. All aspects of the foundation layers will be investigated including thickness, material properties, permeability, modulus/stiffness, strength, volumetric stability and durability. Forensic and in-situ testing plans will be conceived to incorporate measurements using existing and emerging technologies (e.g. intelligent compaction) to evaluate performance related parameters as opposed to just index or indirectly related parameter values. Field investigations will evaluate pavement foundation design input parameters at each site to provide a link between what is actually constructed and what is assumed during design
A general overview of the project and its progress is on the TTCC agenda at 1:00 on Tuesday. The project TAC meeting will be held Tuesday evening. All TTCC members are welcome to attend the TAC meeting; prior registration is needed (see registration form).
Purpose: Discuss project report findings from MI, PA, and IA field studies, specifications/ literature review, lab test plan for characterizing pavement foundation materials, possible changes to specification and QC/QA measurement strategies, draft outline of final report and format.
