Effects of 3D Geocells on Flexible Pavement Foundations

Abstract

Abstract: The current below study examines the effects of adding a Cubic Three-dimensional Geo-synthetics material known as Geo-cells to the foundation layer of flexible Bitumen pavements. In this study, the test of California bearing ratio (CBR) of 5% is used to compare the steel reinforced and unreinforced pavement made sections built on that subgrade. To comprehend the impact of Geo-cell reinforcement upon the pavement section's load-carryings mechanism under static and repetitive loading circumstances, a number of model tests were conducted. The following characteristics were examined: surface deformation profile the test sections, real rut subgrade level, load-settlement response of the pavement sections, and pressure is transmitted into the subgrade soil beneath into the Geo-cell reinforced foundation layer.
