Resilient moudlus of crushed granite aggregate base for use in mechanistic pavement design

Base is an important layer in flexible pavement as it functions as a load spreading layer to reduce the stresses from the loading of vehicles to the subgrade. The stiffness of a base layer is important as it contributes to the strength of the flexible pavement. Resilient modulus, a measure of material stiffness, is a fundamental parameter used in the mechanistic design procedure
