Trrl Lr 748 Movements were measured at expansion joints in 7 bridges of various forms of construction and were transformed into corresponding values of effective bridge temperatures. Correlation was established between these effective temperatures and the sum of the mean shade temperature of the five previous days and an appropriate proportion of the daily range of effective bridge temperatu…
Improved methods of pavement design require that soil strength should be characterised in terms of fundamental parameters. Although the strength parameter CBR widely used in present methods of road design is empirical in origin, it is shown that it can be related to the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils by one of two linear relationships, one characterising soils in an undisturbed over…
The suction method for estimating the shear strength of soils from plasticity data and mositure content has been examined in the light of a wide range of experimental evidence. It is concluded that the method predicts changes in strength of a wide range of soils satisfactorily. The method has been used to quantify the likely changes in mositure content and strength under a range of site conditi…
