Behavior of Geotextile Reinforced Sand on Weak Subgrade

The use of nonwoven geotextiles in unpaved roads provides at least two basic contributions, namely separation and reinforcement functions, therefore reducing rutting and maintenance cost and greatly improves the overall performance of reinforced unpaved roads. Available results of studies on the res...

Al-Refeai0Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, King Saud University, P.O. Box 800, Riyadh 11421 Saudi ArabiaThe use of nonwoven geotextiles in unpaved roads provides at least two basic contributions, namely separation and reinforcement functions, therefore reducing rutting and maintenance cost and greatly improves the overall performance of reinforced unpaved roads. Available results of studies on the resilient behavior of subgrade-geotextile-base system are limited and inconsistent. A series of cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to study the effect of nonwoven geotextile on the resilient and plastic behavior of a subgrade-geotextile-base system. The results suggest that the presence of the geotextile did not significantly increase the resilient modulus (increase of only 14%). However, there was a major reduction in the permanent deformation (50% reduction).http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1018363918307153
