In transport engineering, subgrade is the native material underneath a constructed road, pavement or railway track (US: railroad track). It is also called formation level.. The term can also refer to imported material that has been used to build an embankment.. Construction. Subgrades are commonly compacted before the construction of a road, pavement or railway track

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test was developed by the California Division of Highway as a method of classifying and evaluating soil-sub grade and base course materials for flexible pavements. CBR test, an empirical test, has been used to determine the material properties for pavement design.

The AASHTO System of Soil Classification was developed by the U.S Bureau of Public Roads in 1920 for the classification of soils for highway subgrade use. It was further revised by AASHTO in 1945. In this system, the soil is classified depending upon the plasticity characteristics and the particle size of the soil.

Subgrade soil The soil that lies below ground level and extends to such depth as may affect the support of the pavement. Soil is an accumulation or deposit of earth material, derived naturally from the disintegration of rocks or decay of vegetation that can be excavated readily with power equipment in the field or disintegrated by gentle mechanical means in the laboratory.

Subgrade. The "subgrade" is the in situ material upon which the pavement structure is placed. Although there is a tendency to look at pavement performance in terms of pavement structure and mix design alone, the subgrade can often be the overriding factor in pavement performance. Figure 3. Subgrade work on SR 97 south of Bend, Oregon.

The purpose of the study was to describe the response of highway subgrade materials by fundamental strength properties which can be utilized to evaluate changes in the strength and deformation characteristics of soils produced by the type and amount of com­ paction energy applied. The densification of soils was studied from

These index material properties continue to be used by many highway agencies. Correlations are provided in both design procedures for relating CBR and R-values to M R (or, in the case of the AASHTO Guides, to the structural layer coefficients a i). The modulus of subgrade reaction (k) used in the AASHTO Guides is also correlated to M R.

remainder of the pavement system. It is crucial for highway engineers to develop a subgrade with a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of at least 10. Research has shown that if a subgrade has a CBR value less than 10, the subbase material will deflect under traffic loadings in the same manner as the subgrade and cause pavement deterioration.

Volume change of subgrade soils due to wetting and drying, freezing and thawing, or improper drainage may also cause pavement distress. Inadequate drainage of water from the base and subgrade is a major cause of pavement problems leading to future performance issues. If the subgrade is saturated, excess pore pressures will develop under traffic ...

6.1 Introduction and Classification of Highway Materials. Highway Materials can be classified into the following three groups: Mineral Materials: Mineral materials are used for embankment construction, pavement construction and as filler materials. Subgrade soil, sand, gravels, pebbles, blast furnace slag fall into this type of materials.
