 Determination of Sub-Grade Effective CBR IRC : 37-2018
6.3 Resilent modulus of the sub-grade:
a) CBR of Sub-grade Soil = 2.95 %
b) CBR of Existing Jhama-Bats treated with subgrade = 18.80 %
b) Considering CBR of existing Granular Layer (WBM) treated with subgrade = 30.00 %

M RS = 10.0 x CBR for CBR ≤ 5.00 % -- (6.1)

M = 17.6 x
RS
〖 (𝑪𝑩𝑹) 〗 ^(𝟎.𝟔𝟒) for CBR > 5.00 % -- (6.2)
MRS for existing WBM layer = 155.19 Mpa Existing thickness = 0 mm
MRS CBR of Existing Jhama-Bats = 115.07 Mpa Existing thickness = 230 mm
MRS for Sub-grade Soil = 29.50 Mpa

6.4 Effective modulus/CBR for design :

Step-1 Using IITPAVE software, determine the maximum surface deflection (δ) = 2.492 mm
due to
a) The a singleratio
Poisson’s wheelvalue
loadof both the layers (µ) = 0.35
b) Single Wheel Load = 40000 N
Step-2 Using the maximum surface deflection (δ) computed in step-1 above,
estimate the resilient modulus MRS of the equivalent single layer using
equation 6.3.
RS = 59.47 Mpa Ok. Value is accepted
M
Where, = ( 〖𝟐 (𝟏−𝞵 〗
^𝟐)𝞺𝛼])/𝜹
M = Resilient modulus
RS --(6.3) shall be limited to a maximum value of 100 Mpa. Para - 6.4.2
µ = Poisson’s ratio = 0.35
p = Contact pressure for the above specified load (p) = 0.56 Mpa
α = Radius of circular contact area for this load and contact pressure = 150.80 mm
δ = Obtained maximum surface deflection computed in step-1 above = 2.49 mm
Effective CBR value for above accepted estimated resilient modulus M RS
CBR =
√(𝟎.𝟔𝟒&𝑴_𝑹𝑺 = 6.70% Since the value is > 5% . Hence Ok.
