Abstract:

This paper proposes an incipient assessment method for postconstruction settlement of highway subgrade by using statistical analysis approach with an improved static loading test method, time-extended loading test. The time-extended loading residual settlement S r ( t ) and settlement rate V s ( t ) are calculated from the field test data. The test procedure and the corresponding experimental validations are presented. Based on the field test data, a probabilistic model is built to bridge the final residual settlement and the actual postconstruction settlements. The proposed time-extended loading test based assessment system has been validated through three operating and well-documented road sections. According to the validation results, the construction quality can be accurately evaluated at an early stage and the corresponding remedial measures can be applied timely.
