Project description

Findings from this study will inform both pavement design and pavement quality assurance processes for INDOT. ALPT measurements of aggregates and subgrades will yield high-quality, in situ resilient modulus measurements that can validate (or refute) current INDOT pavement design assumptions. Refined resilient modulus inputs can be incorporated into INDOT pavement design upon completion of the study.
