Abstract

The Poisson’s ratio for asphaltic concretes is a difficult and expensive parameter to measure. It is for this reason that some laboratories and design companies propose standard values to be integrated in the dimensioning of pavement subgrades. This study approaches the subject differently by determining characteristic maximum and minimum values, guaranteed at 90% and 95%. These values were obtained after a statistical exploitation of experimental results obtained from a population of 90 samples. Gauss’s law was used after verification of its applicability by appropriate tests. An analysis enabled the comparing of these values to those recommended by some design companies.
