Compaction standards for fillers of surface layer and bottom layer of subgrade bed

PositionFillerCompaction standard
Compaction coefficient, KSubsoil coefficient, K30/(MPa·m-1)7 d unconfined compressive strength of saturated soil/kPaDynamic deformation modulus, Evd/MPa
Surface layerGraded crushed stone≥0.97≥190 ≥55
Bottom layerGroup A and Group B coarse gravel soil and crushed stone≥0.95≥150 ≥40
Group A and B sandy soil (except silty sand) and fine gravel soil≥0.95≥130 ≥40
Chemically modified soil≥0.95 ≥350 (550) 

Note(s): The bracketed value is the strength required for chemically improved soil considering the freeze-thaw cycle in severe cold areas. Refer to the Code for Design on Subgrade of Railway (TB 10001-2016)
