ABSTRACT

Characterization of base aggregates layers that underlay the bound layers within a pavement system is vital to correctly design road pavement structures. One method to determine these characteristics is resilient modulus testing which is becoming a more common method that provides a more complete overview of the aggregate behavior under a variety of loading and confining conditions that may be present in a road pavement structure. The present paper present the results of the investigation of a variety of aggregates, with variations in gradations and moisture contents for a typical Greek aggregate utilized in base layers of flexible pavements.
