Geosynthetics in new transportation applications
Geosynthetics are useful and versatile materials that have found a range of applications in transportation projects (Berg and Suits, 2000). Geosynthetic materials can decrease project costs and project time; increase design life, stability, and range of acceptable borrow material; and improve performance - important given the large backlog of infrastructure projects and limited funding. This article explains a few relatively new uses and designs for geosynthetics in transportation applications since Berg and Suits (2000). The types of geosynthetics include: geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geocells, and geonets. The following applications will be addressed, with references that readers can review for additional details: deicing pads, load transform platforms, moisture barriers, underground stormwater management chambers, pavement separators, and tunnel liners.
