Numerical Study of Geotextile-Reinforced Flexible Pavement Overlying Low-Strength Subgrade
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
Finite-element analysis explores geotextile location, stiffness and layer configuration in flexible pavements over weak subgrade. Modelled rutting and thickness benefits are conditional, rather than validated reductions for an arbitrary road design.
