Abstract: The surface vibration compaction test, indoor heavy compaction test, interior California bearing ratio(CBR) test and modulus of resilience test have been carried out on sericite schist coarse aggregates and four modified soils, because the sericite schist belong to the soft rock, strength low, which is easy to make road collapse and pavement cracking when it as subgrade filling material. Test results shows that it is a big difference in the maximum dry density of sericite schist coarse aggregates by using heavy compaction test in contrast to the surface vibration compaction test. The results of maximum dry density is 2.01 g/cm3 by using heavy compaction test; but another is 1.92 g/cm3. The main reason is that due to particle breakage in sericite schist. The effects of the change of the optimum moisture content is not obvious for sericite schist coarse aggregates, as well as for four modified soils, which is beneficial to compaction. The modulus of resilience of sericite schist coarse aggregates is low, less than 32 MPa. However the modulus of resilience of modified soil have been remarkable improved, up to 50 MPa above all. The CBR both only have 3.7 when blend it with 20% red sandstone or 20% clay. But the CBR ascends obviously when to mix it with 3% or 5% cement. Sericit schist after chemical modification by adding 3%, 5% of cement can be used in the embank kment of highway 94 zone and 96 zone.

Key words: sericite schist, california bearing ratio(CBR) test, modulus of resilience, modified soils
