Methods of testing soils for engineering purposes: method 6.8.1: soil strength and consolidation tests - determination of the resilient modulus and permanent deformation of granular unbound pavement materials

This Standard covers the determination of both the resilient modulus and permanent deformation of unbound pavement materials with a maximum particle size not exceeding 19 mm using repeated load triaxial equipment with static confining pressure and an external vertical displacement measuring device under undrained conditions without pore pressure measurement. The same apparatus and similar test procedures are utilized to determine both of these properties. The resilient modulus test characterizes the material response over a range of applied dynamic stress conditions assuming isotropic behaviour. The permanent deformation test characterizes the plastic strain response at one stress level over a large number of repetitions.
