Base Course Resilient Modulus for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide
Abstract:The primary objective of this project is to establish a protocol for determining the resilient modulus of a base course material during the design stage of a pavement structure. It is expected that such a protocol will improve the accuracy and reliability of engineering parameters determined for pavement design, and it is anticipated that improved characterization will lower uncertainty and risk, and reduce overall cost of pavement construction.
