The
1.0 Introduction
Recognizing this deficiency, the 1986 and the
2.0 Definition
The Resilient Modulus (MR) is a measure of
2.1 Stress
Stress is determined by dividing the applied load by
2.1 Stress
INDOT.

2. Samples are placed in
the apparatus
3. Linear variable
deformation transducer
(LVDTs) are installed to
measure deformation

cycles
The test loads are specified at 3-4 psi for
base and sub-base materials, and 1-10 psi
for road bed materials.
If permanent vertical strain reaches 5%
during pre-test, the process is terminated
Testing: the test is performed using the
load sequence
The results from the triaxial test is
represented on a Mohrs Circle for further
analysis

Where,
P = applied load, lbs
dr = measured deflection at radial distance r

r = radial distance measured, inches

7.0 Conclusion
MR is a key characterization parameter for
granular materials
It closely models the resilient behavior of
a granular material, recognizing that the
behavior is difficult to generalize
The resilient modulus is highly dependent
on the stress state (i.e. bulk stress and
confining pressure)
Each pavement design should have its
specific calculated resilient modulus based
on its structure and load application
