Abstract Resilient modulus is an important parameter for designing pavements. However, its determination by resorting to cyclic triaxial tests is tedious and time consuming. With this in view, an electronic circuitry, which employs bender elements (i.e. piezo-ceramic elements) was developed. Details of the circuitry and the testing methodology adopted for this purpose are presented in this paper. This methodology helps in determining the resilient modulus of the material quite precisely. Further, it is believed that this methodology would be quite useful to engineers and technologists for conducting quality check of the pavements, quite rapidly and easily.
