Book Description
Field and laboratory testing programs were conducted to develop models that predict the resilient modulus of subgrade soils from the test results of DCP, CIMCPT, FWD, Dynaflect, and soil properties. The field testing program included DCP, CIMCPT, FWD, and Dynaflect testing, whereas the laboratory program included repeated load triaxial resilient modulus tests and physical properties and compaction tests. Nine overlay rehabilitation pavement projects in Louisiana were selected. A total of four soil types (A-4, A-6, A-7-5, and A-7-6) were considered at different moisture-dry unit weight levels. The results of the laboratory and field testing programs were analyzed and critically evaluated. A comprehensive statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data. The results showed a good agreement between the predicted and measured resilient modulus from the various field test methods considered. The DCP and CIMCPT models were enhanced when the soil moisture content and dry unit weight were incorporated. The results also showed that, among all back calculated FWD moduli, those back calculated using ELMOD 5.1.69 software had the best correlation with the measured Mr. Finally, the Mr values estimated using the approach currently adopted by the LADOTD were found to correlate poorly with the measured Mr values.

Book Description
Highway agencies across the nation are moving towards implementation of the new AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for pavement design. The benefits of implementing the MEPDG for routine use in Ohio includes (1) achieving more cost effective and reliable pavement designs, (2) lower initial and life cycle costs to the agency, and (3) reduced highway user impact due to lane closures for maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements. Implementation of the MEPDG is a process that requires time and agency resources (staffing, training, testing facilities including equipment, and so on). A key requirement is validating the MEPDG's nationally calibrated pavement distress and smoothness prediction models when applied under Ohio conditions and performing local calibration if needed. Feasibility of using the MEPDG's national models in Ohio was investigated under this study using data from a limited number of LTPP projects located in Ohio. Results based on limited data showed inadequate goodness of fit and significant bias in a number of the MEPDG new HMA pavement and JPCP performance prediction models. Limited recalibration of these models showed promising results indicating that a full-scale recalibration effort using a more extensive database assembled from projects located throughout the state is feasible.

Book Description
"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."
