Q: Identify the test to be conducted for the determination of the modulus of subgrade reaction in pavement design.
  • A. Plate bearing test
  • B. Triaxial test
  • C. CBR test
  • D. Direct shear test
Correct Answer: Option A - • Plate bearing test to be conducted for the determination of the modulus of subgrade reaction in pavement design. • In plate bearing test a compressive stress is applied to the soil pavement layer through rigid plates of relatively large size and the deflections are measured for various stress values.
