The study of the resilient response of soils and chemically stabilized mixtures is justified by the need to know the behavior of these soils under the action of repeated and transient loads. The traditional method for determining the resilient modulus of soils in laboratory requires complex and expensive repeated-loading triaxial equipment. Therefore, simpler methods should be developed. This work was carried out to identify the geotechnical and resilient properties of a clayey soil from Viçosa-MG in its natural state and after stabilization with cement and tar, and to propose empirical correlations between the resilient modulus of these materials and other geotechnical parameters, easily determined under laboratory conditions.
