Incorporating the Benefits of Geosynthetic into MEPDG
Infrastructures, 2023 One of the most effective ways to increase the longevity of pavement structures is through the integration of geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that are added to the ...
