Experimental evaluation of a polyester geogrid as an anti-reflective cracking interlayer on overlays
Dynamic fatigue test results are presented as part of a laboratory study for evaluation of the effect of a geogrid as an interlayer reinforcement between a cracked asphalt concrete layer and a non cracked one. Tests were performed with and without the grid, in order to ascertain its effects on crack control for both bending and shearing modes of loading. Prismatic beams supported by an elastic base were tested in a MTS equipment, at a loading frequency of 20 Hz. Significant increases in the design life due to reflective cracking and a different pattern of cracking were observed with the inclusion of the polyester geogrid used in the research, which indicates a remarkable reinforcing effects and a clear redistribution of stresses and dissipated energy.
