One of the most effective ways to increase longevity pavement structures is through integration geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that added interface between subgrade and base layer a structure. To evaluate effect various parameters on structural benefits reinforcement structure low-volume traffic flexible pavement...

This paper presents a feed forward back-propagation neural network model to predict the retained tensile strength and design chart in order to estimation of the strength reduction factors of nonwoven geotextiles due to installation process. A database of 34 full-scale field tests were utilized to train, validate and test the developed neural network and regression model. The results show that t...

Abstract One of the methods of increasing soil resistance against failure is soil reinforcement using geosynthetics. Soil-geosynthetic interactions are of great importance and are affected by friction and adhesion at their interface. Soil gradation, contact surface roughness and geotextile density are among the factors affecting soil-geotextiles interaction this study, to investigate the eff...
