Abstract	This volume summarizes the laboratory data collected in Volume 1 and provides only the information necessary to estimate the resilient response of fine-grained Tennessee subgrades. Three examples demonstrating the use of the handbook and the statistical model are provided. The moisture density relationships for the soils investigated are compared. Although not recommended as a means for estimating resilient modulus, the laboratory resilient modulus data are also compared with measured CBR values, along with a frequently assumed relationship. The data are organized based on the AASHTO classification, with data for classification A-4 (2 soils), A-6 (2 soils), A-7-5 (1 soil) and A-7-6 (3 soils). Both the handbook procedure and the statistical model are shown to yield predictions of the resilient response suitable for most design applications.
