Bearing capacity of unpaved roads
1997
Canadian geotechnical journal (Print)
Elastic layer theories may be valid for relatively stiff pavement materials and pavements subjected to low traffic stresses; however, the assumption of linear elastic behavior is not suitable for thin pavements and unpaved roads consisting of untreated granular bases over cohesive subgrades. The behavior of such pavements, even at low traffic stresses, is markedly nonlinear. Pavement design methods based on a bearing capacity theory are more applicable to roads with thin pavements.
