Resilient Properties of Subgrade Soils
Publication: Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE
Volume 105, Issue 1
Abstract
Resilient properties of 50 typical Illinois fine-grained soils were evaluated. Soil resilient properties can be related to soil characteristics (texture, plasticity, organic carbon content, AASHTO group index). Current soil classification procedures do not group fine-grained soils into groups with distinctive resilient properties. Moisture-density conditions and degree of saturation significantly influence the resilient properties of fine-grained soils. Average resilient properties for various soil classification groups were determined. Regression equations were developed for estimating resilient properties based on soil characteristics and degree of saturation.
