I'm currently supervising a road designed to a bitumen standard-surfacedressing.The pavement layers composes of stabilised subbase,crushed stone base(CRR)and surfacing.Now I'm at base course stage and in principle Ihave already analysing the most important tests required for the assessment of the rock to be used as stone base.The tests already conducted are grading analysis,P.I,ACV,LAAV,SSS(5cycles)and TFV dry/TFVsoaked.Is pertographic analysis important in this case?and what else important tests to be conducted?

escrowe....been there! Last two firms I was with (one very large, one regional..about your size) had offices in West Palm. Ain't it fun! I left them and went on my own about 4 years ago...much more enjoyable.

Hope your work is holding up. Looks like some things are starting to unfold again.
