Geosynthetic solutions for emergency repair of damaged roadways and airfields
This paper presents numerous options for the emergency repair of damaged roadways and airfields with geosynthetic materials: geotextiles, geogrids, fiber-reinforced soil, geocells, geosynthetic mats and panels. The damage can be superficial (e.g., pavement only) or severe (e.g., pavement and subgrade). While there are several materials and systems that can be used, focus here is completely on geosynthetic systems. By so doing, the versatility and adaptability of geosynthetics are highlighted and the technology transfer into the targeted applications is illustrated. Even further, a benefiz-cost illustration is offered for selection among the various geosynthetic material systems. Specific site situations will require different properties and input data. Particularly important are the following: Speed of repair, number and weight of vehicles, soil conditions, climate-environment conditions Whatever the selection of ultimate repair, a conservative design should be provided. Such a benefit-cost analysis should be considered in this regard.
