Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project was to determine the resilient moduli for common Missouri subgrade soils and typical unbound granular base materials in accordance with the AASHTO T 307 test method. The results allow Missouri Department of Transportation pavement engineers to calibrate software included with the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 1-37A Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide according to Missouri's conditions and materials. The test results included resilient moduli data from 27 common subgrade soils out of the 99 Missouri soil associations and from five unbound granular base materials. The subgrade soils, selected and provided by MoDOT, were tested at their optimum water content (as determined from AASHTO T 99 testing (AASHTO, 2001)) and at an elevated water content. The five unbound granular base materials, again selected and provided by MoDOT and representing a typical range in geologic source, were tested at two different gradations (typical as-delivered percent minus #200 sieve size and at an elevated amount of fines). All testing included three replications for all materials. Data are provided in the form of tables and graphs. As a part of the granular base material resilient moduli (Mr) specimen preparation deliberation, MDD and OMC were determined for each of the 10 material/gradation combinations. The Mr testing program results indicate that both the material source and fines content are highly significant in the level of attained resilient modulus. In regard to material source, the range between the highest and lowest Mr values was more than two-fold. Also, two of the five aggregate sources suffered a 15 to 20% loss in Mr with the addition of five percent fines.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The paper describes methods for predicting the reilient (elastic) modulus of unbound granular base and subbase materials used in flexible pavement construction based on California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and/or other test data. Current pavement design methods employ relationships that estimate the resilient modulus from CBR results. The most commonly referenced of these relationships are limited in that they were developed using roadbed soils with CBR values no larger than approximately 15%. Therefore, it could be helpful if a model were available that would reliably predict the resilient modulus over a wider range of CBR values and be more specific to unbound granular materials. In this study, four different Missouri aggregates were analyzed that are commonly used in pavement base layers. Two of the aggregates were gravels and two were crushed stone."--Abstract, leaf iii.

Book Synopsis Modelling of the Resilient and Permanent Deformation Behaviour of Subgrade Soils and Unbound Granular Materials by : Haithem Soliman
Download or read book Modelling of the Resilient and Permanent Deformation Behaviour of Subgrade Soils and Unbound Granular Materials written by Haithem Soliman and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory characterization of subgrade soils and unbound granular materials is an essential component of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (Pavement ME). The design thickness and performance of a pavement structure are highly dependent on the deformation behaviour of subgrade and granular material. Specifications for granular materials vary among transportation agencies based on the availability of materials, climatic conditions, and function. Specifications aim to provide durable materials that meet design requirements and achieve the target design life with cost effective materials. The objectives of the research are to: • evaluate resilient modulus of typical fine-grained soils under traffic loading. • evaluate resilient modulus, permanent deformation, and permeability of typical unbound granular materials. • evaluate the effect of moisture and fines fraction on the performance of unbound granular materials and subgrade soil. • develop prediction models for resilient modulus to improve reliability of Level 2 inputs in the Pavement ME. • provide test data in support of updating Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation specifications for unbound granular materials to improve the performance of pavement structures. Resilient modulus tests were conducted on three types of subgrade soil (high plastic clay, sandy clay, and silty sand/sandy silt) at four levels of moisture content. Resilient modulus, permanent deformation and permeability tests were conducted on six gradations representing two types of granular material (100% crushed limestone and gravel) at two levels of moisture content. Prediction models were developed for resilient modulus and compared to the models developed under the Long Term Pavement Performance program. The proposed models provided more reliable predictions with lower root mean square error. The deformation behaviour of the granular materials was classified according to the shakedown and dissipated energy approaches. Among the tested fines contents, limestone and gravel materials with optimum fines contents of 4.5% and 9%, respectively, had better resistance to plastic deformation and higher resilient modulus. The dissipated energy approach can be used to determine the stress ratio for the boundary between post compaction and stable zones from multistage triaxial testing. Result of permeability tests showed that the hydraulic conductivity of unbound granular material increased as the fines content decreased.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pavement system basically consists of a surface layer, a base course, a subbase (optional) and the subgrade. As per MEPDG and 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide Resilient Modulus (MR) is used as the primary input parameter to determine the stiffness parameters and the constitutive behavior of pavement components, such as subgrade and unbound bases. Generally, pavements are constructed on compacted soils that are typically unsaturated with degrees of saturation varying from 75 to 90%. The main focus of this research is to determine the effect of matric suction on the resilient moduli property of the base materials. The second objective of the research is to study the use of MEPDG models to calibrate resilient moduli properties either as a function of moisture content or soil suction variables. In order to assess these objectives, these unbound materials were tested using suction controlled MR and moisture controlled MR procedures. Amendments were done by preparing the specimens at five different moisture content and dry density conditions. Suction controlled MR testing took longer time to reach the equilibrium conditions and the results obtained were close to the results obtained from moisture controlled MR procedure. The initial suction conditions are studied using Fredlund device (Tempe cell). Test results indicate that the specimens compacted on the dry side of the optimum have high resilient modulus due to the stress hardening behavior. MEPDG program procedure was followed to predict the soil water characteristic curve. Lastly, two three model parameter models developed by Cary and Zapata (2010) and Modified Universal model are studied and analyzed in detail. Validity of the correlation equations are addressed by comparing measured MR to predicted MR values. Results suggest that the models used are well suited for predicting the resilient modulus and soil water characteristic curve of the two unbound base materials.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first of a series of four reports about laboratory and field testing of various granular road and airfield subgrades. This report details the acquisition, testing and analysis of six soils from a test site in Winchendon, Massachusetts. Repeated load triaxial tests were done on frozen and thawed soils to characterize the variations in their resilient properties through out the seasons. Linear regression yielded empirical equations relating the resilient modulus to applied stress, unfrozen water content (for frozen soils), moisture tension (for thawed soils) and density. Equipment and test procedures (given in detail) were developed that allowed simulation in the laboratory of the gradual recovery of stiffness that occurs in the field after thawing. The resilient moduli were strongly dependent on soil state, dropping at least two orders of magnitude upon thawing. For all soils the moduli increased with increasing confining stress, generally decreased with increasing principal stress ratio, and increased with increasing moisture tension levels. The resilient moduli increased by a factor of approximately two as the materials recovered from the effects of a freeze-thaw cycle. This recovery process is well modeled as a function of soil moisture tension level. The stress sensitivity did not appear to be a function of the soil moisture tension level. The report also includes tabulations of all the repeated load triaxial test data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Resilient modulus indicates the stiffness of a soil under controlled confinement conditions and repeated loading. The test is intended to simulate the stress conditions that occur in the base and subgrade of a pavement system. Resilient modulus has been adopted by the U.S. federal highway administration as the primary performance parameter for pavement design. We thank those who prepared these papers, the reviewers who provided anonymous peer reviews, and those who participated in the symposium. We hope this STP encourages more work to improve the testing standard and the value of the Resilient Modulus test."
