Modelling is an important necessity for an analytical approach in describing material<br />

performance. Many researchers have outlined different procedures for predicting the<br />

resilient and permanent strain responses <strong>of</strong> granular materials. Chapter 5 and Chapter 7<br />

give an overview <strong>of</strong> the models that have been used so far to model the resilient and<br />

permanent deformation <strong>behaviour</strong> <strong>of</strong> unbound granular materials respectively.<br />

Chapter 8 deals with the different repeated load triaxial test apparati used around the<br />

world to study the response <strong>of</strong> unbound granular material under cyclic, traffic-type<br />

loads.
