Dynamic Monitoring of Water Content of Highway Subgrade

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article introduces the principle and equipment of FDR for detecting the water content of subgrade. It also demonstrates the details of the 5TM sensor’s installation. By comparing the water content between excavation subgrade and fill subgrade, it illustrates that subgrade form has a significant effect to water content of subgrade, which also provides powerful basis for regular maintenance of subgrade and ensures the normal operation of the highway.
