• Abstract:
  The main objective of the research is to provide a laboratory methodology for resilient modulus testing which can be implemented to design flexible pavements mechanistically in Louisiana. The results from laboratory methodologies will be used to validate the existing soil properties - Mr relationships used in Louisiana. The outcome of the research study will be development of a laboratory research tool that will provide LTRC with the ability to conduct diagnostic work for LADOTD. The tool will also be used as a part of the materials characterization process in the Accelerated Loading Facility at LTRC. Other objectives of the study are to understand the influence of testing procedures (AASHTO T-294, T-292), the LVDT's measurement locations, and the physical soil characteristics on the resilient modulus of soils.
