Abstract:State departments of
transportation (DOTs)
routinely use geogrids and
geotextiles for subgrade
stabilization applications.
This construction practice
involves placing a
geosynthetic on top of a weak
subgrade to help stabilize the
ground in order to construct
the remaining gravel platform.
The geosynthetic generally
provides stabilization of the
subgrade by increasing the
load-carrying capacity of
the system and maintaining
separation between the
soft subgrade and subbase
materials.
