Abstract:

The thesis is focused on experimental testing of resilient modulus Mr with triaxial test of chosen unbounded and bounded mixtures used in the sub-base layer of pavement. The reason of testing is to compare results with TP 170 – pavement construction guide containing commonly used values of resilient modulus Mr. Thesis should check if those values are correct and real. For classification of chosen materials there are used another tests like grain size distribution, compaction, California bearing ratio CBR for unbounded mixtures and compressive strength for cement-bounded mixtures.

Keywords:

Resilient modulus Er, triaxial test, subbase pavement layers, unbounded mixture, cement bounded mixture, compaction, California bearing ratio CBR, compressive strenght
