"Resilient modulus indicates the stiffness of a soil under controlled confinement conditions and repeated loading. The test is intended to simulate the stress conditions that occur in the base and subgrade of a pavement system. Resilient modulus has been adopted by the U.S. federal highway administration as the primary performance parameter for pavement design. We thank those who prepared these papers, the reviewers who provided anonymous peer reviews, and those who participated in the symposium. We hope this STP encourages more work to improve the testing standard and the value of the Resilient Modulus test."

The objectives of this research are to establish a resilient modulus test results database and to develop correlations for estimating the resilient modulus of Wisconsin fine-grained soils from basic soil properties. A laboratory testing program was conducted on representative Wisconsin fine-grained soils to evaluate their physical and compaction properties. The resilient modulus of the investigated soils was determined from the repeated load triaxial (RLT) test following the AASHTO T307 procedure. The laboratory testing program produced a high-quality and consistent test results database.

Historically, structural pavement design has been based on static testing techniques, such as the CBR. This book specifies use of the resilient modulus of subgrade soils for pavement design. It also deals with the laboratory determination of resilient modulus, and talks about the experience of practitioners with the test.

The objective of this project was to determine the resilient moduli for common Missouri subgrade soils and typical unbound granular base materials in accordance with the AASHTO T 307 test method. The results allow Missouri Department of Transportation pavement engineers to calibrate software included with the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 1-37A Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide according to Missouri's conditions and materials. The test results included resilient moduli data from 27 common subgrade soils out of the 99 Missouri soil associations and from five unbound granular base materials. The subgrade soils, selected and provided by MoDOT, were tested at their optimum water content (as determined from AASHTO T 99 testing (AASHTO, 2001)) and at an elevated water content. The five unbound granular base materials, again selected and provided by MoDOT and representing a typical range in geologic source, were tested at two different gradations (typical as-delivered percent minus #200 sieve size and at an elevated amount of fines). All testing included three replications for all materials. Data are provided in the form of tables and graphs. As a part of the granular base material resilient moduli (Mr) specimen preparation deliberation, MDD and OMC were determined for each of the 10 material/gradation combinations. The Mr testing program results indicate that both the material source and fines content are highly significant in the level of attained resilient modulus. In regard to material source, the range between the highest and lowest Mr values was more than two-fold. Also, two of the five aggregate sources suffered a 15 to 20% loss in Mr with the addition of five percent fines.

This book gathers the proceedings of an international conference held at Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for materials Science and Technology) in Dübendorf, Switzerland, in July 2020. The conference series was established by the International Society of Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Transport Infrastructure (iSMARTi) for promoting and discussing state-of-the-art design, maintenance, rehabilitation and management of pavements. The inaugural conference was held at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2000. The series has steadily grown over the past 20 years, with installments hosted in various countries all over the world. The respective contributions share the latest insights from research and practice in the maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements, and discuss advanced materials, technologies and solutions for achieving an even more sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure.
