Evaluation of Geosynthetic Reinforced/Stabilized Pavement Built over Soft Subgrade Soil Using Cyclic Plate Loading Testing
The benefit of using geosynthetics to enhance the performance of pavement constructed over the soft subgrade was evaluated using cyclic plate load testing. A total of six test sections, with varying types and layers of geosynthetics and base thickness, were constructed inside a 2 m x 2 m x 1.7 m steel box. A cyclic load at a frequency of 0.77 Hz was applied through a 305 mm-diameter steel plate. The test sections were instrumented by a variety of sensors to measure load associated pavement response and performance. The test results showed the benefits of geosynthetics in significantly reducing the pavement rutting. The test section with double layer geosynthetics performs much better than all other sections studied in this paper. Geosynthetics placed at base-subgrade interface function more as weak subgrade stabilization than as base layer reinforcement.
