<p><p><strong>References:<br></strong><em>Christopher et al. (2010)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Permeability is the ability of a material to conduct water. It is defined as the quantity of fluid flow through a unit area of soil under a unit pressure gradient. Permeability of the subgrade is rarely an issue for pavement design, but may be of interest in terms of dewatering requirements for excavations or installation of interceptor drains to lower groundwater.

<p><p><strong>References:<br></strong><em>White et al. (2007a, 2009a, 2009b)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Proof rolling is also referred to as heavy test rolling and is a widely used QA technique on earthwork construction projects by many state agencies (e.g, Mn/DOT, ODOT). It is typically performed using a pneumatic wheel roller on a compacted surface and the ruts observed beneath the wheels are measured to assess the support conditions.
