TL;DR: In this paper, the resilience characteristics of clay subgrades with respect to their influence in causing fatigue failures in asphalt pavements are investigated. But the authors focus on the resilience of the pavement and do not consider the impact of the deformation of the surfacing material.
Abstract: A pavement may be considered to have failed when the deformations of its components are sufficiently large to cause an intolerably uneven riding surface or to cause cracking of the surfacing material. It has been recognized for many years that either or both of these modes of failure will develop if there is excessive plastic deformation of the pavement compounds and methods of pavement design have been developed to minimize the possibility of failure due to this cause. The aim of the paper is to throw light on the resilience characteristics of clay subgrades with respect to their influence in causing fatigue failures in asphalt pavements.

TL;DR: The results suggest feasible use of waste concrete as partial aggregate substitution in HMA with comparable resilient modulus and creep resistance as the conventional W3B mix, while hybrid mixes with higher concrete substitutions achieved better performance.
