... on composite modulus improvement factor (CMIF) compared to the aperture size of the geogrid. The placement depth of the geogrid also had a strong influence on CMIF. Pavements with geocell-reinforced bases exhibited higher modulus improvement compared to geogrid-reinforced pavements. Geocell sections with wet...

... plate load tests on model pavements were performed. The effect of several factors including thickness of soil, thickness of subsequent EPS layers and density of EPS on the surface deformations, resilient modulus (M_r) and interlayer pressure transfer were investigated. The results...

... to users of the road, is urgently needed to assess the benefits of using geotextiles in secondary road flexible pavements. This paper presents a cost analysis process that includes costs for the initial construction, each rehabilitation, work-zone queue delays, moving delays, accidents, and fuel...

...-benefit of geotextiles, is likely to result in increased usage of geotextiles. There are two fundamental aspects of design when geotextiles are used for subgrade stabilisation: the required thickness and quality of pavement materials to be placed above the geotextile; and the required properties...
