STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF MOISTURE AND COMPACTION ON THE MODULUS OF RESILIENCE OBTAINED BY CYCLIC CBR TESTING IN LOCAL SOILS FOR A QUALITY RURAL TOURISM

Iñigo Garcia, Lenka Ševelová

Low Volume Roads are a key part of both rural and urban life and an accurate study of the parameters involved in their design is fundamental at an environmental level. In nature, due to the passing of the seasons, with changes in humidity and temperature, the density and compaction of the soil changes notably, giving rise to cracks and defects that directly affect their users and entail both economic and environmental costs in terms of vehicle efficiency and repair costs. Furthermore, this type of defect hinders the practice of outdoor activities and sports, which are essential for the development of rural tourism. For this reason, in this study, the Resilience Modulus of a nearby material has been analysed by cyclic California Bearing Ratio tests, thanks to Mendelu's specialised software, under different compaction and humidity conditions.

Keywords: humidity, density, soil, recreation, low-volume roads
