Abstract
In this paper, the structural benefit of using a single layer of geogrid in base reinforcement as measured in the confinement test is related to Layered Elastic Theory. While derivation of a Traffic Benefit Ratio (TBR) and/or Base Course Reduction (BCR) is still a work-in-progress, a specification strategy is suggested based on the confinement factor and associated index properties. Further analytical and field research is needed to demonstrate a direct relationship between elastic theory and confinement testing.
