Impact of Compaction Methods on Resilient Response of Unsaturated Granular Pavement Material
Compaction of aggregates is an important part of the design, construction and research of pavement geotechnics projects. An important application of compaction is sample preparation for pavement design studies. Conventionally, the impact method of compaction is used for studies on pavement materials. However, recently, some researchers have been using other methods of compaction, such as static compaction, specifically for studying the unsaturated behavior of pavement materials. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of compaction techniques on resilient behavior of compacted laboratory specimens. Studies show that the resilient behavior of unsaturated compacted road pavement materials is influenced by suction. In this regard, two types of recycled Construction and Demolition (C&D) material were selected and static and impact compaction methods were utilized for sample preparation. Further, accuracy of four predictive resilient modulus models with or without incorporation of suction was investigated. Test results show the impact of compaction method on particle breakage, matric suction and accordingly resilient behavior of C&D granular material.
