An in-situ (subgrade) soil located in Colorado (TMI = -20) has the following index properties: Percent passing No.200 = 25 percent Plasticity Index = 20 Compaction tests indicate this soil has an optimum degree of saturation of 85 and a maximum dry unit weight of 100 PCF. The resilient modulus at optimum conditions is 10,000 psi. Estimate the resilient modulus at equilibrium with the environment for this soil. Clearly outline the steps followed and assumptions used to find the answer.
