The asphalt surfacings were 25 mm to 85 mm thick, the subsurface granular layers were 135 mm to 300 mm thick, and the subgrade CBR ranged from 4% to 28%. Vertical compressive strains measured in the unbound granular layers and subgrade of flexible pavements are substantially greater than predicted values. Vertical compressive strains …
A 12-in, full-depth asphalt pavement is placed on a subgrade with an effective roadbed resilient modulus of 10,000 psi. Assuming a layer coefficient of 0.44 for the hot mix asphalt, a drop in PSI from 4.2 to 2.5, an overall standard deviation of 0.5, and a predicted ESAL of 3 X 10, determine the reliability of the design by the AASHTO equation, and check the …
Subgrade soil strength and/or stiffness are major factors in the design and performance of pavements, particularly low-volume pavements. A practical method of realistically estimating in situ moisture content significantly improves the determination of the appropriate resilient modulus to be used for pavement design. Because of the variability ...
The CBR values improved between 1.1 and 1.7 times, corresponding to an increase in the layer thickness from 50 to 100 cm. Further increases in CBR values range from 1.5 to 1.8 times attendant with ...
Often, existing pavement failure may be caused by inadequate subgrade support or poor subgrade drainage. In these cases, the existing pavement over the failed area should be removed and the subgrade should be prepared as it would be for a new pavement. Figure 1: Repairing failed pavement sections before overlay.
Concrete strength also comes into play, but most slab concrete is around 3000 to 4000 psi, so it's not a major factor. The tensile strength of concrete is typically taken as 10 to 15% of the compressive strength, so only about 400 or 500 psi. Compare that to the tensile strength of Grade 60 rebar, which is 60,000 psi.
305 LEAN CONCRETE BASE. Lean concrete base is rarely used on ADOT projects. Lean concrete base (LCB) is made with concrete aggregate and sufficient cement (about three sacks) to achieve a strength of at 500 psi (3.5 MPa) in seven days. Mix design, testing, and inspection are handled the same as with concrete paving.
Pavement failures may occur due to intrusion of subgrade soils into the granular base, which results in inadequate drainage and reduced stability. Distress may also occur due to excessive loads that …

subgrade: [noun] a surface of earth or rock leveled off to receive a foundation (as of a road).
A number of resonant column tests were conducted on subgrade soil samples and the crumb rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) mix samples with different rubber contents and rubber types. The fine crumb rubber is dissolved in the hot asphalt binder (for a period of time) as an additive to modify the properties of the binder.

a. Payment will be at the unit price per square yard for each type of subgrade treatment used. b. Payment is in addition to subgrade preparation. 3. Includes: Work includes, but is not limited to, furnishing, placing, and incorporating the subgrade treatment material [cement, asphalt, fly ash, lime, geogrid (type), or geotextiles]. J. Subbase: 1.
Pavement structure typically consists of an asphalt concrete or concrete surface layer, underlying granular layers (subbase and/or base) and compacted subgrade soil layer.
This paper investigates the effect of subgrade soil stabilization on the performance and life extension of flexible pavements. Several variables affecting soil stabilization were considered, including subgrade soil type (CL or CH), additive type and content (3, 6, and 9% of hydrated lime, 5, 10, and 15% of class C fly ash (CFA), and 5, …
Subgrade modulus affected by stress state, moisture content, and matric suction. The subgrade materials in Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design (MEPDG) method are characterized using resilient modulus, which is defined as the ratio of repeated cyclic loading divided by the recoverable strain, as shown in Equation (1). (1) M r = σ cyc …
Extensive testing of pavement material used in New Zealand forest roads show a great range from 20% through to 80%. Most subgrades at the time of construction will typically have values from 3 to 15%. A subgrade with 8% is considered just strong enough to build on. However, a CBR of less than 4% has marginal capacity to carry traffic loads.
The importance and design of subgrade and subbase drainage is discussed in Section 6E-1, Subgrade Design and Construction, and Section 6F-1, Pavement Subbase Design …
Question: A compacted subgrade in a rural region has a CBR value of 8 % as shown in Figure. The pit rubble, quarry rubble and crushed rock, respectively are available above the compacted subgrade. Sprayed seal material would be used for the construction of wearing surface of 20 mm in thickness.
Subbases provide uniform support to the pavement and a stable platform for construction equipment. Subbases also help prevent movement of subgrade soils at transverse pavement joints in roads subject to a large …

The variation of the maximum dry density (MDD) of subgrade soil with RAP is as shown in Figure 4. The test was performed up to 25% addition of RAP at an interval of 5%. Initially, the MDD value decreased from 1.92g/cc to 1.79g/cc for 5% addition of RAP content. Later it increases to 1.95g/cc at 25% RAP content.

2.3 Stiffness Transition Form Based on Surface Deflection. The subgrade stiffness of the general road is 40 MPa, and has the same pavement structure with bridge approach. It is found that when subgrade stiffness of bridge approach changes in the range of 40–200 MPa, the stress and strain states will change significantly.
Our new Asphalt Tonnage Calculator provides instant results based on your unique job specifications. Simply enter the area to be paved along with the specified thickness, and the calculator determines the tons required. It even adjusts for standard compaction rates to make sure you order the right amount. No lengthy manual computations are needed.
The "subgrade" is the in situ material upon which the pavement structure is placed. Although there is a tendency to look at pavement performance in terms of pavement structure and mix design alone, the subgrade can often be the overriding factor in pavement performance. Figure 1: Subgrade Preparation on SR 528.

Use a rubber-tired or smooth-wheeled roller to complete the compaction of the surface. When the thickness is greater than 6 inches, compact multiple lifts of equal thickness with a maximum lift thickness of 6 inches. Compact the treated subgrade to a minimum of 95% of the combined materials dry density.
