Abstract:The paper presents a study on permanent deformation characteristics of clayed subgrade soils on the basis of the repeated load triaxial test, the relationship between permanent strain and loading times was tested through 36 working conditions, a prediction model for permanent deformation of cohesive subgrade soils is established by improving and calibrating NCHRP-37A model. Based on the layerwise summation method, and combined with the consideration of highly channelizing road traffic, put forward the itemize and layerwise summation method as improved method to calculate permanent deformation of cohesive subgrade soil under vehicle repeated load, calculation principle and steps of this improve method was explained in detail. Combined with a case study of typical asphalt pavement structure, permanent deformation of clayed subgrade soils is calculated, and through the contrast analysis, the rationality of this method was verified.
