Abstract
Thirteen heavily instrumented test sections will be installed along a newly constructed frontage road located in northeast Arkansas. Two woven geotextiles, one nonwoven geotextile, and one geogrid will be installed at the subgrade-base course interface for two different base course thicknesses. Structural, environmental, and quality control data will be obtained remotely for approximately one year. The objective of this research study is to evaluate the governing geosynthetic for this application, establish the primary performance mechanism of improvement, and determine the cost/benefit ratio of this technology. Recommendations and construction procedures for geosynthetic-reinforced flexible pavements will be submitted to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) at the completion of this research.
