Abstract:

With finite resources and an extensive road network to maintain, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintenance forces must select roadway repair methods that are structurally sound, capable of being opened early to traffic, and straightforward in construction. TxDOT anticipated the loss of more experienced employees, and this project focused on developing guidelines to aid less experienced employees, and this project focused on developing guidelines to aid materials. Efforts specifically focused on distresses common in expansive soil environments.
