摘要
This paper reports a practical constitutive relation for highway subgrade soils. The proposed model is derived based on the laboratory repeated load testing of four subgrade soils. Statistical parameters generally used in the power model of subgrade permanent strain are expanded into material constants with engineering significance. The constitutional relation reported in this paper can be used in the mechanistic based pavement design of highway flexible pavements and railroad tracks.
