Use of Geo-grid for Pavement Optimization on Highway Projects

With an increasing pressure to complete the highway projects within time and budget without compromising the performance, there exists a growing need for designers, consultants and contractors to employ innovative techniques for the design of highway pavements and other related structures. The use of geo-grids to optimize pavement design has become established technology, dating back more than thirty years. The key incentives to incorporate geo-grids in to pavement layers include savings in construction, maintenance and environmental costs, an increase in construction speed, and an enhancement in the performance of the pavement. This paper presents test results from various research programmers undertaken to demonstrate several benefits due to inclusion of stabilizing geo-grids into unbound pavement layers. Additionally, practical applications using project examples are presented.
