The GeoGauge can be used in the QC of stabilized materials. The QC method

can determine how soon a material can bear construction loads, determine

the ultimate strength from measurements at the time of installation or assure

structural uniformity of the material. Appendix 2 is a case study of such a QC

method on a cement treated bases. Appendix 3 is a case study of use on a lime

treated subgrade.
The GeoGauge can be used in-place to estimate CBR and Resilient Modulus or

estimate the results of plate load tests, laboratory R-Value, FWD or DCP with

more speed and simplicity and at a much lower cost.
