The determination of shear strength characteristics gravelly soils is difficult through the use conventional small scale, triaxial or simple testing devices in laboratory due to membrane compliance and boundary effects; inconsistent penetration resistances measured as part standard cone field. These limitations require available empirical semi-empirical relationships execution large scale field...

In most construction works, crushed rock aggregates with angular shape are used as subgrade materials. However, naturally available rounded granular could be utilized in design of layers an alternative material for economic and environmental reasons. Therefore, a comparative study on the road pavement using two different shapes (angular rounded) same size (10–19 mm) has been conducted this pape...
