Abstract

The access road to a coal mine facility was determined to have failed by BYU researchers after a field investigation in 2008. The road surface was heavily degraded by severe transverse, longitudinal, and fatigue cracking. Deep depressions coincided with the transverse cracks causing extremely poor ride quality. Subsurface testing revealed the base and subgrade to be very low quality with unusually high moisture contents and low dry densities.
