Subgrade Design and Construction
Mar 06, 2020 · (CBR), modulus of subgrade reaction (k), and elastic (resilient) modulus. Although there are other factors involved when evaluating subgrade materials (such as swell in the case of certain clays), stiffness is the most common characterization and thus CBR, k-value, and resilient modulus are discussed here. 1.
