Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Of Transportation Facilities For Mclean County, L. John Fleckenstein, David L. Allen, Vincent P. Drnevich
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Concern has grown in recent years over the seismic activity of the New Madrid seismic zone in Western Kentucky. McLean County, Kentucky is located in this region. To permit emergency medical, supply, and equipment traffic into this area after an earthquake has occurred, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is interested in the possibility of keeping selected routes passable. This report lists the route that has been investigated and recommended as being the route in McLean County that should be maintained in passable condition. The recommended route, KY 136, has been visually surveyed and all seismically significant features cataloged. These features are …

Interim Guidelines For Design Of Highway Pavements, Gary W. Sharpe, Ronald D. Hughes, David L. Allen
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
The adequacy of a pavement design is directly related to the accuracy of traffic data, axle load information and materials data. It is assumed that appropriate construction procedures will be employed and that the pavements will be maintained periodically during the course of their service lives.
It is assumed that the subgrade will be constructed at or near the optimum moisture content and to the maximum dry density as specified in appropriate standard specifications. It is also assumed that the base course materials meet design requirements, that the aggregates will meet soundness and durability requirements and that the aggregate base …
