Which of the following test parameter of subgrade soil is essential for the design of flexible pavement?

Solution

Concept

CBR

Step-by-step solution

1. Flexible pavement design uses CBR of subgrade.

Explanation

CBR gives the subgrade strength.

Why the other options are wrong

Modulus of subgrade reaction is for rigid pavements.

Shortcut
