Studies on resilient modulus value from cyclic loading tests for cohesive soil

Abstract

In this article the cyclic CBR test as a reference method in determination of resilient modulus (Mr) is confronted with results of cyclic triaxial and unconfi ned uniaxial cyclic test. The main idea of conducted experiments is establish relationship between cyclic loading tests in testing of natural subsoil and road materials. The article shows results of investigation on cohesive soil, namely sandy silty clay, commonly problematic soil in Poland. The results of repeated loading triaxial test resilient modulus were displayed in order to compare them with cyclic CBR test results by using the Mr–Ө model. Some empirical correlation between factors obtained from triaxial test or uniaxial unconfi ned cyclic test and cyclic CBR test was introduced here. The behavior of resilient modulus was also examined in this paper.
