Base Projects
Project 3.13
Project Summary
The overarching goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of enzymatic stabilizers in RSB projects in Vermont and the New England (NE) region. The outcomes of this project will assist engineers in (i) determining the appropriate enzymatic agent for the type of base/subbase material, (ii) improving the success rate of the RSB projects while using sustainable techniques, (iii) increasing pavement durability and service life and consequently savings in maintenance costs, and (iv) increasing roadway safety.
