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
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.
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.
Three different aggregate sources were tested in this study, which are crushed limestone, crushed basalt and partly crushed gneiss %FR of 72% . Each aggregate source was sieved and prepare exact blends of the six different gradations in represents the base grading envelope resilient modulus testing. The resilient modulus tests were prepared ...
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 each load cycle, the vertical stress is applied and removed in a sinusoidal fashion, resulting in a smooth application of the stress.
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 ( mm mesh)
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
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.
calculate the CTA modulus of elasticity, and field cores were collected for testing compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. CTA gained strength with increases in cement content, and the increase in strength and the strength level depended on the aggregate properties, such as the resilient modulus of unbound aggregate.

Resilient Modulus Testing. Resilient Modulus (Mr) is a fundamental material property used to characterize unbound pavement materials. It is a measure of material stiffness and provides a mean to analyze stiffness of materials under different conditions, such as moisture, density and stress level.
reduce the strength and resilient modulus of base course or subgrade (NCHRP 2004). The MechanisticEmpirical 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.
Resilient modulus of aggregate bases is an important parameter in the 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.
