Asphalt concrete overlays are used for flexible or rigid road pavements when their function
or structure deteriorates and exceeds an unacceptable extent. The life span of asphalt …

Bituminous pavements cover a large part of Canada's roadway network. Traffic and
environmental loadings cause distresses and damages in the pavement structure. A …

In this study, a series of controlled traffic loadings was conducted on unreinforced and
geosynthetic-reinforced full-scale asphalt overlays. Unlike the common objective of using …

The use of geosynthetic reinforcements placed underneath asphalt overlays, which has
been typically used to minimise problems associated with reflective cracking, is evaluated in …

While there is significant field evidence of the benefits of geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt
overlays, their use has focused on minimizing the development of reflective cracks. Yet …

The functions of geosynthetic-interlayers in retarding reflection cracking and improving
fatigue performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlays in flexible pavements are evaluated …

Practical applications and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the presence of the
geosynthetic configures a fragile point in the contact between asphalt layers, which can …

The application of geocomposites as reinforcement in asphalt pavements is a promising
solution for the maintenance/rehabilitation of existing pavements and for the construction of …

This study aims at evaluating the influence of geosynthetic reinforcements on the structural
improvement of asphalt overlays placed on distressed pavement layers using repeated load …

In the asphalt pavement with semi-rigid base, the shrinkage cracks initiating from base
course often propagate upward to surface course to develops into reflective cracks. The …
