Abstract
En 中文
This study investigates the impact of pavement structure self-weight on the dynamic and static resilient modulus of subgrade materials and proposes a prediction model to account for this effect. Traditional methods for measuring subgrade modulus are limited in simulating repeated traffic loading and the influence of self-weight, leading to inaccurate evaluations. To address this, a novel test device capable of applying cyclic loads was developed. Dynamic and static modulus tests were conducted using different bearing plate and lantern ring sizes to simulate the selfweight effect. Results show that the resilient modulus decreases as the bearing plate size increases, stabilizing at 30 cm, while the modulus increases with the collar size, stabilizing at 50 cm for a 20 cm plate and 35 cm for a 30 cm plate. A prediction model for dynamic and static resilient modulus, incorporating the effect of pavement self-weight, was developed. This model enhances the accuracy of subgrade modulus predictions, contributing to more reliable pavement structure designs. The findings are significant for improving the efficiency and accuracy of subgrade testing, with important implications for pavement design and maintenance.
