       Notes - general: Road foundations, representing standard designs of
                        the Department of Transport, were constructed on three
                        soils of different subgrade strength in a pilot-scale
                        facility and instrumented  to measure vertical
                        sudgrade stress and strain.  The results of this
                        investigation together with those from earlier studies
                        are used to demonstrate that it may be possible to
                        formulate an elastic criterion for the adequacy of
                        the foundation against excessive deformation by
                        traffic during road construction.  Proposals are given
                        for future work on design as well as the assessment of
                        foundations.
