Description / Abstract:
This standard practice provides guidance to pavement designers
interested in incorporating geosynthetics for the purpose of
reinforcing the aggregate base course of flexible pavement
structures. Geosynthetic reinforcement is intended to provide
structural support of traffic loads over the life of the
pavement.
For the purpose of this guide, base reinforcement is the use of
a geosynthetic within, or directly beneath, the granular base
course.
When referring to geosynthetics, the discussion is limited to
geotextiles, geogrids, or geogrid/geotextile composites.
