New ASTM geosynthetics standards for quantification of material properties for pavement components

July 6, 2010 rockman Standards and Codes Comments Off on New ASTM geosynthetics standards for quantification of material properties for pavement components

Two new standards from the Geosynthetics committee of ASTM will help define properties that can be used in the design of geosynthetic reinforced pavement. I know in my practice in Arizona, ADOT simply allows a boost of Resilient Modulus (R-Value) of 10 when biaxial geogrids are used. Perhaps in time this will lead to a design method to account for the geosynthetic reinforcement in a more analytical way. [Source: Geosynthetics Magazine]
