| Objectives: | To determine whether geosynthetics (geogrids and geotextiles) can be used to increase the structural capacity of pavements typically constructed by state DOTs. To measure in situ stress/strain response of the reinforced material for use in current or future pavement design processes. To determine whether geosynthetics can be used to increase the service life of pavements typically constructed by state DOTs. To compare the performance of base course reinforced pavements subjected to traffic loading during non-frost periods with performance during thaw. |
