Abstract:Geosynthetics have been used to reinforce aggregate base courses to increase the structural support from the base to the pavement structure. This project aims to develop a study framework to evaluate and quantify the structural benefits under Nevada conditions. To achieve this objective, a five-stage research plan was developed to support a controlled field demonstration, with input regarding design, specification, and standards. This report provides a methodology to determine the expected design life of a specific site with known climate characteristics, subgrade modulus, and traffic. Included are recommendations for the pavement design, testing layout, testing plan, construction guidelines, preliminary implementation plan, and cost estimate.
