Estimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus Using the Unconfined Compression Test
To facilitate pavement design, the new proposed mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide recommends the resilient modulus to characterize subgrade soil and its use for calculating pavement responses attributable to traffic and environmental loading. Although resilient modulus values could be determined through laboratory testing of actual subgrade soil samples, such testing would require sig...
متن کاملEstimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus Using Unconfined Compression Test
1 2 Resilient modulus test is the recommended test to characterize subgrade soil for 3 pavement design in 1993 AASHTO pavement design guide as well as new proposed 4 Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). This test requires significant 5 resources including high level of technical capability to conduct. For smaller projects where 6 costly and complex resilient modulus testing is n...
متن کاملEvaluation of Resilient Modulus of Subgrade and Base Materials in Indiana and Its Implementation in MEPDG
In order to implement MEPDG hierarchical inputs for unbound and subgrade soil, a database containing subgrade M R , index properties, standard proctor, and laboratory M R for 140 undisturbed roadbed soil samples from six different districts in Indiana was created. The M R data were categorized in accordance with the AASHTO soil classifications and divided into several groups. Based on each grou...
متن کاملUtilization of Soil Stabilization with Cement and Copper Slag as Subgrade Materials in Road Embankment Construction
In this study, unconfined compression tests have been conducted to investigate the impacts of copper slag on mechanical characteristics for stabilized cement and un-stabilized soil. Dozens of specimens were prepared at four percentages of cement (i.e. 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) and five percentages of copper slag (i.e. 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight of dry soil. The samples compacted into a cylind...
متن کاملOptimal Forest Road Density Based on Skidding and Road Construction Costs in Iranian Caspian Forests
Information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of Caspian forests. Skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. Determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management. Logging me...
