INTRODUCTION
Pavements are civil engineering structures used for the purpose of operating wheeled vehicles safely and economically.
The development of geosynthetics in the past three decades has provided the strategies for enhancing the overall performance of the paved roadways.
Commonly a paved road becomes a candidate for maintenance when its surface shows significant cracks and pot holes.
GEOSYNTHETICS
Geosynthetics is defined as “a planar product manufactured from polymeric material used with soil, rock, earth, or other geotechnical engineering related material”.
Geosynthetic usage has steadily increased in both public and private construction projects.
Geosynthetics is likely to increase in the future with stricter environmental regulations enforcement.
GEOSYNTHETICS IN PAVEMENT
The primary purpose of incorporating the use of geosynthetics in the pavement design process is to reduce reflective cracking
Geosynthetics resist moisture intrusion into the underlying pavement structure, stabilize roadways and their edges.
It improve road quality, particularly when roads were built on unstable soil.
