Resilient Modulus of Compacted Crushed Stone Aggregate Bases

摘要

In recent years, the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has recommended the use of resilient modulus for characterizing highway materials for pavement design. This recommendation evolved as result of a trend in pavement design of using mechanistic models. The main goal of this study was to establish a simple and efficient means of predicting the resilient modulus of different types of Kentucky crushed stone aggregate bases To accomplish this purpose, resilient modulus tests were performed on several different types of aggregate bases commonly used in pavements in Kentucky.
