... enhancement of aggregates through micromechanical interlocking provided by two different types of geogrids. These findings are applied to model the resilient response characteristics of geogrid-stabilized base course composite systems. Using three pairs of bender elements as shear wave transducers, horizontal...

...S.W. Perkins; M. Ismeik In this and a companion paper, studies related to the use of geosynthetics in the base course layer of flexible pavements for the purpose of reinforcement are examined. The purpose of these papers is to provide a synthesis and evaluation of the literature focusing...

...S.W. Perkins; M. Ismeik In recent years, geosynthetics have been proposed and used as reinforcement in the base course layer of flexible pavements for the purpose of improving performance and/or to allow for the reduction of base course thickness. Much of the pioneering work with geosynthetic...
