Title: GEOGRIDS AS A REHABILITATION REMEDY FOR ASPHALTIC CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
Accession Number: 00627117
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Rutting and shoving of asphaltic concrete pavements extend from streets in front of the White House across the country. Frequent practice has been to remove and replace the pavement. Rotomilling the displaced material, relaying it, and overlaying the lanes is another remedy. On multilane highways, overlaying both lanes with asphaltic concrete is frequently done. Studies have indicated that the outside lanes receive several more equivalent axle loads than the inside lanes. This is reflected by their increased distress and rutting. The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation's El Paso District is testing a different solution. The outside lane was provided with additional reinforcement using geogrids on a rehabilitation project on Interstate Highway 10. Sections received various quantities of asphaltic concrete overlays. The rotomilled geogrid sections failed. The other sections including another geogrid are serving well.
