Abstract

This report identifies the severity and/or frequency of occurrence of aggregate availability, subgrade support, high volume change soils, and frost susceptible soils within physiographic sections, and qualitatively assesses the potential for the influence of these factors on highway design and construction. The findings are founded on the premise that physiographic units can form an orderly filing system for accumulated engineering experience, which, in the highway design field, constitutes engineering judgment.
