APPLICATION OF NON-WOVEN FABRICS IN SECONDARY ROAD CONSTRUCTION

ZUR VERWENDUNG VON VLIESSTOFFEN BEIM BAU VON LANDSTRASSEN DER UNTEREN BAUKLASSEN

The stress-strain behavior of non-woven fabrics (geotextiles) is an important criterion for their performance as separatory membranes between soil courses of a highway. The article reports on field tests to verify their suitability for such applications. It was found that the non-woven fabrics are subject to maximum stress at laying operations and afterwards through the impact of traffic ruts. Non-woven fabrics perform, however, in many cases better than sub-base courses.
