INFRASTRUCTURE - Road
Road is an open way, usually surfaced with asphalt or concrete, providing passage from one place to another. The most commonly used geosynthetics in road systems include geotextiles (woven and non-woven) and geogrids (biaxial and multiaxial).
With the functions of separation, filtration, drainage, barrier and protection, geosynthetics have been successfully used to achieve many functions that contribute to the good performance of roads.
It can increase the service life and bearing capacity of the roads, as it can prevent the movement of fine-grained soils under dynamic loads and allow the drainage of excess water.
Geotextile materials have tensile strength. They increase tensile strength and deformation ability before breaking and provide soil reinforcement.
They can significantly improve load distribution and minimize rutting and soil mixing.
Compared with the conventional construction methods, the use of geogrids is an economical and effective alternative.
