This two-part webinar will discuss the use of geogrids in flexible pavements, with a focus on the requirements for proper design and successful applications. As pavement design methods have advanced over the past 75 years, the materials and construction techniques used have also advanced. While geosynthetics were first used to improve road performance as far back as the 1930s, the incorporation of these materials into standard flexible pavement design, specifically AASHTO methods, is a much more recent phenomenon. In particular,…
