A Laboratory Study on the Performance of Geosynthetic Reinforced Asphalt Overlays

Geosynthetics can improve pavement performance in different ways, such as drainage layers, reinforcement and barriers. The use of geosynthetic reinforcement in pavement base and cap layers has increased markedly in the last decades mainly because of better overall performance and greater life of reinforced pavements in comparison with unreinforced ones, as reported in several laboratory and field experiments. This paper presents and discusses...
