Characterization of the effect of physical properties on the performance such as stiffness and drainage of unbound granular materials is necessary in order to incorporate them in pavement design. The stiffness, deformation and permeability behaviour of unbound granular materials are the essential design inputs for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide as well as empirical design methods. The performance based specifications are aimed to design, and construct a durable and cost effective material throughout the design life of a pavement. However, the specification varies among jurisdiction depending on the historical or current practice, locally available materials, landform, climate and drainage. A literature review on the current unbound granular materials virgin and recycled concrete aggregate base construction specification has been carried out in this study. Resilient modulus, permanent deformation and permeability tests have been carried out on seven gradations of materials from locally available sources. Resilient modulus stiffness of unbound granular material at two different conditioning stress level have been compared in the study. The long term deformation behaviour has also been characterized from results of the permanent deformation test using shakedown approach, dissipated energy approach and a simplified approach. The results show improvement in resilient modulus and permanent deformation for the proposed specification compared to the currently used materials as a results of reduced fines content, increased crush count and inclusion of larger maximum aggregate size into the gradation. A significant effect of particle packing on permeability of granular materials have also been found, in addition to the effect of fines.

Nearly all highway, airport, dock and industrial pavements contain large quantities of untreated aggregate in the form of unbound pavement layers. In many pavements, which are lightly or moderately trafficked, crushed rock or gravel derived aggregates comprise the majority of the construction or, in the case of unsealed pavements, all of the structure. This book provides studies of the performance and description of this material that will help the reader to better understand its characteristics and behaviour both alone and as part of the pavement structure it forms. This work will be useful to practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students. It forms a sequel to the earlier book "Unbound Aggregates in Road Construction" also published by Balkema

The drainage performance of unbound granular material (UGM) is an important consideration in pavement design because the presence of excess moisture in UGM layers can eventually lead to premature failures. Recently, transportation agencies have been evaluating their granular base and subbase drainage and mechanical performance to ensure sufficient drainage capacity while maintaining adequate structural support to produce more sustainable pavement structures. Linking performance to UGM construction specification requires accurate characterization of UGM's mechanical and drainage performance and how physical and gradation parameters affect such performance. These evaluations led to an update of the specification requirements of UGM in many jurisdictions including Manitoba. In this research, constant head hydraulic conductivity, resilient modulus, permanent deformation, double ring infiltrometer, and falling weight deflectometer test methods were used in laboratory and field investigations. These tests were conducted to characterize the drainage and mechanical performance of ten UGM samples representing four different gradation bands. The laboratory test results were also used to investigate the reliability of the estimated hydraulic conductivity from the Moulton prediction model and from the Enhanced Integrated Climatic Model (EICM). Test results showed an improvement in resilient modulus and drainage quality for samples in gradation bands that specify larger maximum aggregate size and limited fines. A statistical analysis of the test results showed that D10 larger than 0.2mm and D60 larger than 8mm would guarantee higher stiffness and better drainage performance with a time-to drain of less than 5days for typical pavement cross-sections and a resilient modulus value exceeding 200MPa. The Moulton prediction model was found to provide a better approximation of hydraulic conductivity of the materials included in this study, while the EICM model was found to significantly overestimate the hydraulic conductivity for most of the samples.

"Unbound Granular Materials (UGMs) are used in the base/subbase layers of flexible pavements for the majority of roads around the world. The deterioration of pavements increases with the increase of traffic loadings. To ensure the long-term performance and serviceability of pavement structures through a realistic design, the precise evaluation and comprehensive characterisation of the resilient and permanent deformation behaviour of pavement materials are essential. The present PhD study aims to investigate the characterisation of the resilient and permanent deformation behaviour of four road base UGMs sourced from quarries in Victoria, Australia, using Repeated Load Triaxial (RLT) testing. The triaxial system used in this study is instrumented with four axial deformation measurement transducers to achieve highly precise measurements and to evaluate the effect of instrumentation on the resilient modulus of UGMs. The resilient Poisson's ratio of the studied UGMs is also determined using a radial Hall-Effect transducer. Moreover, a series of permanent deformation tests is performed to precisely characterise the axial and radial permanent deformation behaviour of UGMs and investigate the factors that may significantly influence the accumulated axial and radial permanent deformations. Finally, three permanent deformation models incorporated with a time-hardening procedure are employed to predict the magnitude of permanent strain for multiple stress levels of the RLT test. The predictions using the employed models are then compared against the measured values to evaluate the suitability of the models and to identify the model that best predicts the strain accumulation behaviour of the tested UGMs. While this study focuses on the resilient and permanent deformation behaviour of four Victorian UGMs under repeated loading, the knowledge generated from this comprehensive investigation will contribute towards the global development of more reliable methods for evaluating the long-term performance of pavement structures and minimising road maintenance and repair costs." -- Abstract.
