The article "Modeling Resilient Modulus and Temperature Correction for Saudi Roads" (H.
Wahhab, I. Asi, and R. Ramadhan, Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2001:298–
305) describes a study designed to predict the resilient modulus of pavement from physical
properties. The following table presents data for the resilient modulus at 40°Cin10® kPa (y),
the surface area of the aggregate in m²/kg (x1), and the softening point of the asphalt in °C
(х).
