Abstract:A primary objective of the current study was to help ODOT expand its selection of approved
geogrid products for base reinforcement applications by producing measured data on selected
geogrids and a dense-graded base aggregate commonly used in ODOT roadway projects. The study involved in-isolation and in-aggregate laboratory testing of several base
reinforcement geogrid products from major geosynthetic suppliers. In-isolation tests included
rib strength and junction strength tests, and in-aggregate tests included a series of pullout
tests, large-scale cyclic plate load tests and field-scale installation damage tests Test results
on different geogrids in this study were used to quantify the significance of the geogrids in-isolation properties on their in-aggregate response under controlled conditions. These efforts
collectively will help ODOT and other state DOT engineers to revise their respective
specifications manuals for base reinforcement and subgrade stabilization applications
