- W577293322 abstract "The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the suitability of a soil-mesh composite system for soft shoulder stabilization applications. This report presents the results of research conducted to determine the effects of the randomly oriented polymeric mesh inclusions on a plantable sand. The individual inclusions are playing card size mesh elements (2 in. x 4 in.) with open ribs and square apertures between the ribs, forming a netlike structure. This stabilization system was selected because the polymer inclusions have the potential of providing the tensile reinforcement necessary to support an 18 kip equivalent single axle load (ESAL), as specified by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), and allowing storm water to drain freely from the roadway. Compaction tests, Clegg Impact Value (CIV) tests, model-footing tests, and hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted to determine the effects of the mesh inclusions on the compaction characteristics, stiffness, deformation behavior, and drainage behavior of a plantable sand. Full-scale model-footing load tests were conducted on representative soft shoulder sections using a Material Test System (MTS) to simulate 1) a heavy vehicle (18 kip ESAL) arriving on the shoulder, parking for 15 minutes, and then leaving (parking simulation), and 2) the same vehicle arriving and leaving an additional 30 times over a period of about 35 minutes (trafficking simulation). Results of the CIV and model-footing tests indicate that a stiffer, more elastic composite material is created with the inclusion of the randomly oriented mesh elements. Notable improvements in deformation characteristics were observed including: increased stiffness, reduced deformations associated with creep, reduced total deformations, and improved elastic recovery. Consequently, the soil-mesh composite reduced permanent deformation (rutting) by at least 50% during the model-footing tests. Results of the compaction and hydraulic conductivity tests indicate that the mesh inclusions have little measurable effect on the compaction characteristics or hydraulic conductivity of the soil tested." @default.
