Six granular materials were used as base and subbase materials in the flexible pavement test sections for the Minnesota Road Research (Mn/ROAD) project. Crushed/fractured particles are not allowed in aggregate classes CL-1Fsp, CL-1Csp, CL-3sp, and CL-4sp. Ten to 15 percent crushed/fractured particles are required for CL-5sp. One hundred percent crushed/ fractured particles are required for CL-6sp. A comprehensive laboratory testing program was established to determine pertinent engineering properties of the granular materials. Rapid shear tests and repeated-load tests were conducted to determine the shear strength parameters (friction angle and cohesion), resilient modulus, rutting potential, stress history effects on shear strength, and moisture susceptibility. The results from the rapid shear tests and permanent deformation tests show that the rutting potential of a granular material can be characterized from rapid shear test at a confining pressure of 15 psi (103.35 kPa). The rutting parameter A was a function of the shear strength of the granular materials. The shear strength results obtained from rapid shear tests performed at a confining pressure of 15 psi reflect the rutting trends observed in the low-volume road test sections at the Mn/ROAD project. Results from repeated-load tests were used to develop the parameters for K-θ, UT-Austin, and Uzan’s models for evaluating the resilient modulus of granular materials. The axial strain values calculated from the resilient modulus models appear to be in good agreement with the measured axial strain values, except for the very low shear strength material CL-1Csp.
