· This paper studied the appliion of 2D Plaxis (, 2011) software on a pavement layer structure set on unsaturated subgrade soil. An axisymmetric finite element (FE) model was used to analyze the behavior of pavement layers subjected to dynamic loadings. The model was loaded with an incremental contact pressure from 50 to 550 kPa with different variable such as water table level (1,2 .
Subgrade is the main part of the any earth work .They are widely used in road, railway and airport runway construction but here we will discuss sequence wise working methodology for the earthwork in subgrade for any highway work. Scope of Work; Reference Documents. Setting Out. Selection of Material Borrow areas. Equipments. Methods of Operation. Quality Control. Work Safety; .
· It can be used on natural subgrade and subsoils, unbound base layers, granular layers, soil stabilised with lime or other additives. The LWD test method has been gaining in popularity following its use in European countries and the USA for over 30 years. The test method was originally designed to measure the resilient modulus (Evd) of an insitu material which indies the material's ...

· Subgrade reaction modulus is the ratio of soil pressure to deflection. This modulus is widely used in structural design of mats and slabs. The structural design is completed by structural engineer of record (SEOR) where he/she utilizes the concept of Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation in order to estimate the pressure of soil as well as shear forces and bending moments induced to the ...

Highway Subgrade Construction in Expansive Soil Areas. Engineering problems with expansive soils in subgrades complie highway construction in expansive soil areas of China. To research and solve the engineering problems, a Chinese research group carried out extensive research as part of the construction of a highway in Ningming Basin, a typical expansive soil area in China. The research on ...
Swarna surya tej et al [2] In this study waste tyre in different proportions %, 5%, %, 10% in terms of weight of soil were used in the subgrade soil of highway pavements. Compaction tests ...
· Subgrade soil is part of the pavement support system. Subgrade performance generally depends on three basic characteristics: 1. Strength: The subgrade must be able to support loads transmitted from the pavement structure. This loadbearing capacity is often affected by degree of compaction, moisture content, and soil type. A subgrade having a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of .
New techniques for using expansive soils in embankments, and stabilizing cut slopes consisting of expansive soils, were developed and applied into the trial sections of the highway by the research group, based on their research and investigations. The measures proved successful and were used to solve the technical problems related to the NanYou Highway subgrade construction. The outcomes .
In order to provide maximum structural support (as measured by M R, CBR or Rvalue), a subgrade soil must be compacted to an adequate density (see Figure 1). If it is not, the subgrade will continue to compress, deform or erode after construction, causing pavement cracks and deformation. Generally, adequate density is specified as a relative density for the top 150 mm (6 inches) of subgrade of ...
