FIELD STUDIES ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF GEOSYNTHETIC-REINFORCED UNPAVED ROADS

Many French forest or agricultural engineers now use geosynthetics to protect base courses from clay contamination, but few of them design their roads taking into account the reinforcement effect. Several studies have been conducted since 1983 to evaluate this effect, using physical models and real structures. The usefulness of geosynthetic reinforcement for unpaved roads is analyzed, including practical and economical aspects.
