Evaluation of Geogrid-Reinforced Base Courses: Pavement Design and Initial Construction Costs Under Varying Conditions
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
A theoretical parametric study compares reinforced base-course thickness and initial costs using assumed reinforcement benefits and indicative unit rates. Useful for screening, with results dependent on subgrade, haul distance and the adopted performance assumptions.
