Soil-reinforcement interaction of a novel type of geogrid-geotextile composite for road applications: Experimental and numerical studies

Incorporating geosynthetic layers on top of the subgrade layer provides more stability and serviceability. That becomes a must when the subgrade layer is classified as a problematic soil. With the traditional method, two layers of geosynthetic are adopted: a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration. Placing these two materials in this manner is […]
