Title: Determination of Typical Resilient Modulus Values for Selected Soils in Wisconsin
PI: Hani Titi
Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanics
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Project: Investigators will develop a methodology for estimating the resilient modulus or stiffness of various Wisconsin subgrade soils from basic soil properties. Various soil parameters will be correlated with resilient modulus measurements in both the laboratory and field using tests such as the Light Drop Weight (LDW), Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) and Soil Stiffness Gauge (SSG).
Task List:
  1. Literature review of resilient modulus of subgrade soils
  2. Selection of a wide spectrum of subgrade soils that comprise core soil types in Wisconsin
  3. Evaluate the effects of soil properties and stress levels on the resilient modulus of Wisconsin subgrade soils
  4. Analyses of the test results and development of models to predict resilient modulus
  5. Final report
