You are very disappointed that a compressibility experiment is no longer part of the CIE 334 laboratory curriculum. Taking matters into your own hands, you break into the soils lab over the weekend and obtain the following data. Assume the specific gravity of solids is 2.70. The initial height of the sample at zero stress was 22.5mm. The water content of the soil at the start of the test is 78%. Plot the e-log o' and e-log o' curves and calculate Cc. Effective Vertical Stress, o' (kPa) 20 50 100 200 400 800 Total Change in Height (mm) 0.23 0.87 1.90 3.62 5.55 7.25

Pavement Management

Pavement management is the process of planning the maintenance and repair of a roadway network or other paved infrastructure to improve road conditions throughout the network. It is also used on runways and airports. Every highway superintendent undertakes walkway management. Traffic management includes the cost of living cycles in a systematic way of repairing minor and major roads and reconstruction projects. The needs of the entire network and budget estimates are considered before the projects are undertaken, as the cost of data collection can change significantly. Pavement management incorporates many of the features and functions required to maintain the quality of the paved material as well as to ensure that the entire road network can sustain itself at the required levels. Although pedestrian management involves the life cycle of commuting from planning to maintenance of any transport infrastructure, road asset management, and road maintenance planning is primarily aimed at road infrastructure.
