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 …

A series of finite element (FE) simulations are carried out to evaluate the benefits of
integrating a high modulus geosynthetic into the pavement foundation. The simulations are …

Geosynthetics have been used to reinforce the base layer of flexible pavement systems for
the past thirty years. However, and in spite of the good field evidence that geosynthetic …

A finite-element response model was developed using ABAQUS software package to
investigate the effect of geogrid base reinforcement on the response of a flexible pavement …

Geogrids is being increasingly used as a reinforced material in various divisions of civil
engineering. The flexible pavement is the one of major area, where the needs of …

ABSTRACT A series of two-dimensional finite element simulations are carried out to
evaluate the benefits of integrating a high modulus geogrid in a paved road. This paper …

In this and a companion paper, studies related to the use of geosynthetics in the base
course layer of flexible pavements for the purpose of reinforcement are examined. The …

A constitutive model for geosynthetics is presented that incorporates components describing
direction-dependent elastic, plastic and time-dependent creep properties. The model is …

In this research, large-scale fully instrumented laboratory tests were conducted to investigate
the behaviour of flexible high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, in unreinforced and …

Three-dimensional finite element models were executed and validated to investigate the
performance of buried flexible high-density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, in unreinforced and …
