Estimation of Resilient Modulus for Coarse-Grained Subgrade Soils from Quick Shear Tests for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Designs

The resilient modulus represents the subgrade soil stiffness, and it is considered one of the key material inputs in the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The resilient modulus is typically estimated in the laboratory using a repeated load cyclic triaxial test, which is complex an...
