Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the long time accumulation of moisture in a soil subgrade beneath an impervious surface with the estimated equilibrium moisture content based upon measurements of the moisture retention characteristics of the soil and the elevation of the ground water. Moisture accumulation due to the formation of ice was not considered.
