Development of Design Methods for Geosynthetic Reinforced Flexible Pavements
Base reinforcement in pavement systems using geosynthetics has been found under certain conditions to provide improved performance. Current design methods for flexible pavements reinforced with a geosynthetic in the unbound aggregate base layer are largely empirical methods based on a limited set of design conditions over which test sections have been constructed. These design methods have been limited in use due to the fact that the methods are not part of a nationally recognized pavement design procedure, the methods are limited to the design conditions in the test sections from which the method was calibrated, and the design methods are often times proprietary and pertain to a single geosynthetic product. The first U.S. nationally recognized mechanistic-empirical design guide for flexible pavements is currently under development and review (NCHRP Project 1-37A, NCHRP 2003). The purpose of this project was to develop design methods for geosynthetic reinforced flexible pavements that are compatible with the methods being developed in NCHRP Project 1-37A. The methods developed in this project, while compatible with the NCHRP 1-37A Design Guide, are sufficiently general so as to allow the incorporation of these methods into other mechanistic-empirical design methods.
