Rut Vicinity Injection Increases Bearing Capacity in Idaho
2 PagesProblem A portion of an asphalt roadway in Filer, Idaho (East 3110 N.) had become rutted due to insufficient bearing capacity and increased industrial/farm equipment traffic. However, the Filer Highway District had a limited budget to address the situation. The Filer Highway District hired URETEK to develop and test a new, cost-effective method to increase the bearing capacity of the rutted asphalt roadway. URETEK conceived a variation of its standard URETEK Deep Injection ® (UDI) protocol for soil stabilization that they called Rut Vicinity Injection (RVI). The RVI protocol was tested at the Filer site. Analysis In investigating this new RVI protocol, URETEK was focused on two main research areas. First, would the RVI protocol improve bearing capacity? If so, RVI would be a feas
