The Use of Geogrids for the Development of Mechanically Stabilized Layers
Publication: Geosynthetics, Forging a Path to Bona Fide Engineering Materials
Abstract
This paper examines the use of geogrids to effectively stabilize particles and form a mechanically stabilized layer or layers. Historically the geosynthetic and geotechnical community have referred to the use of geogrids for reinforcement. This was born out of their widespread use in wall and slope or grade separation structures. However, when these materials are utilized in transportation applications they provide the primary function of stabilization. This paper will highlight recent modelling, laboratory and full scale field testing which demonstrate that this is in fact the case.
