Importance of strain level in evaluating resilient modulus of granular materials
Abstract
This paper examines the importance of strain level, in addition to stresses, in evaluating the resilient modulus of unbound granular base/subbase materials used for pavement construction. A series of cyclic triaxial resilient modulus testing on selected granular materials were carried out following different loading schemes with both the applied stresses and resilient strain levels being adjusted. The experimental results clearly showed that …
