| dc.description | Abstract: Periodic observations over a six-year period along the TAPS Road have been evaluated with respect to construction and slope stabilization techniques in ice-rich roadway cuts and embankment subgrades. Lateral drainage ditches of sufficient width to handle construction excavation equipment, along with near-vertical slope cuts with hand-cleared tops equal in width to one and one-half times the height of the cuts, significantly enhance natural processes of slope stabilization. Right-of-way clearing limited to the toe of embankment fill slopes minimizes subsidence of the roadway and its shoulder slopes. In extremely ice-rich soil cuts, the seeding of the slopes should not be attempted until late in the first thaw season for best results. Natural woody growth can be expected to have a substantial stabilizing effect after five or six thaw seasons but could be accomplished sooner by planting tree seedlings. Attempts to stabilize ice-rich cut slopes with applications of insulation are not very effective and seem to prolong the natural stabilization process. NOTE: This file is very large.
