  Module 3: Pavement Design
Lecture 21: Pavement materials:Soil
  

Summary

The quality of any pavement is affected by the materials used for construction. Coming to the subgrade, soil is the most important material. Here we have seen various tests used for finding the strength of soil, the prominent ones being CBR and plate load test. CBR test assesses the strength of soil, whereas plate load test is used to evaluate its support capability.
