The compacted specimens were 6 inches in diameter and 12 inches in height Crushed limestone base materials included Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA), and Crushed Stone Base (CSB). Number 57s, crushed

limestone aggregates from the Anchor Stone quarry. For each gradation, both lower (LL) and upper (UL) limits were used and specimens were prepared using two different levels of compaction, namely standard Proctor and modified Proctor. Permeability (k) was measured using the falling head approach, while resilient modulus (M R

In this study, the stiffness of unbound aggregate bases containing recycled materials will be examined using FWD field test data and laboratory resilient modulus tests. 1.1 Background In the area of pavement recycling, full-depth reclamation is a technique in which the existing pavement surface course along with a portion of the aggregate base are

Permanent strain and resilient modulus provide direct, quantifiable values that describe two types of deformation (irrecoverable and recoverable) of pavement foundation materials under repeated transient traffic loads. Although the permanent deformation is not directly used in pavement design calculation, it affects the long-term performances of pavement foundations.

Effects of Aggregate Gradation on Resilient Modulus and CBR in Unbound Granular Materials International Journal of Transportation Engineering, 370 Vol.5/ No.4/ Spring 2018 Xiao and Tutumluer showed the impact of gradation and packing characteristics on stability of granular materials. They evaluated aggregate

important factor affecting Resilient Modulus of unbound base courses. Generally, the Resilient Modulus decreases as water content increases. But the rate of decreasing de- pends on the aggregate type and the grain size distribu- tion. Several researches were conducted to investigate the Resilient Modulus of unbound aggregate base courses

Resilient modulus is the most critical variable to mechanistic design approaches for asphalt structures. It is the measure of asphalt response regarding dynamic stresses and corresponding strains. The main purpose of the resilient modulus test result analyses was to determine if the addition of nanoparticles brought any significant change in the stiffness properties of modified mixtures.

reduce the strength and resilient modulus of base course or subgrade (NCHRP 2004). The Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide (MEMPG) presents a pavement design equation and provides a recommendation for selecting hydraulic parameters as inputs to adjust resilient modulus by degree of saturation for natural aggregate.

A new mathematical resilient modulus model, developed in a previous study by researchers of the University of Kentucky Transportation Center (UKTC), was used to relate resilient modulus to any selected, or calculated, principal stresses in the aggregate base.

Missouri Limestone Producers Association (MLPA) was interested in determining what effect a change in the Type 5 aggregate base gradation specification would have on the resilient modulus of said aggregate. The proposed change would lower the minimum allowable total percentage of material passing the #4 (4.75 mm mesh)

Feb 20, 2014· Resilient modulus (M R) is an important mechanical property widely used for the analysis and design of pavements. Therefore the determination of the resilient modulus of pavement materials is of vital importance for any mechanistically based design/analysis procedure for pavements.

The Resilient Modulus Test, put simply, is a modified version of the indirect tension test, where a repeated vertical stress of a fixed magnitude, load duration and cyclic duration is applied to a cylindrical testing specimen.During each load cycle, the vertical stress is applied and removed in a sinusoidal fashion, resulting in a smooth application of the stress.

This paper presents the results of research conducted to investigate the Resilient Modulus (Mr) of unbound aggregates used as pavement layer in Senegal (West Africa) as well as the effect of water content and density on the Resilient Modulus of the materials tested. Four different aggregates was collected from different sites within Senegal and then subjected to repeated load triaxial tests.

This model improves the means of obtaining best data "fits" between resilient modulus and stresses. Furthermore, the resilient modulus can be predicted, using the UKTC resilient modulus model, when the stress condition and type of Kentucky base aggregate are known.

The Resilient Modulus (M R) is a measure of subgrade material stiffness. A material's resilient modulus is actually an estimate of its modulus of elasticity (E).While the modulus of elasticity is stress divided by strain for a slowly applied load, resilient modulus is stress divided by strain for rapidly applied loads – like those experienced by pavements.
