Characterization of Unbound Granular Materials Using Repeated Load CBR and Triaxial Testing
Because repeated load triaxial testing is cumbersome and not readily available, especially in developing countries, characterization of unbound granular road base and subbase materials is still done using empirical methods such as California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing. Although widely applicable and useful, the CBR does not provide information on the mechanical behavior such as the resilient and permanent deformation characteristics of the material. A relatively simple testing technique, a repeated load CBR test, is developed to characterize the mechanical behavior of unbound base and subbase materials, which can be used as an input in mechanistic design analyses. The repeated load CBR test is quite useful to estimate the mechanical behavior of unbound granular materials, especially the resilient modulus. Furthermore, big scale cyclic triaxial tests are carried out to measure the resilient modulus which is then compared with the repeated load CBR results.
