Compaction standards for fillers of surface layer and bottom layer of subgrade bed
| Position | Filler | Compaction standard | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compaction coefficient, K | Subsoil coefficient, K30/(MPa·m-1) | 7 d unconfined compressive strength of saturated soil/kPa | Dynamic deformation modulus, Evd/MPa | ||
| Surface layer | Graded crushed stone | ≥0.97 | ≥190 | ≥55 | |
| Bottom layer | Group 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)
