Flexible pavements are a popular choice among road construction projects due to their cost-effectiveness and durability. However, with the increasing demand for sustainable and long-lasting infrastructure, finding ways to economize flexible pavements has become a top priority for engineers and contractors. One recent solution that has been gaining traction is using geogrid in flexible pavements.
Geogrid is a primary material used in pavement construction. It is a geosynthetic material made from polypropylene or polyester and is designed to reinforce the soil or asphalt in the pavement. The geogrid works by interlocking with the surrounding soil or asphalt, providing additional strength and stability to the pavement.
One type of geogrid that is particularly effective in flexible pavement construction is biaxial geogrid. Biaxial geogrids are made from high-tenacity polyester yarn and are designed to provide superior strength and stability to the pavement. They are also manufactured in super wide formats, with widths up to 5.7m, making them an ideal solution for large road construction projects.
Using geogrid in flexible pavements has proven to be an effective way to economize pavement costs. Studies have shown that using geogrid in flexible pavements can save up to 20% in pavement costs. This is because geogrid can reduce the amount of asphalt and other materials needed in the pavement. Additionally, geogrid improves the stress-strain properties of the pavement, which helps to prolong its life of the pavement.
Another key benefit of using geogrid in flexible pavements is that it helps to improve the overall sustainability of the pavement. Using geogrid in flexible pavements has been shown to reduce the thickness of the pavement crust, which leads to substantial savings in carbon emissions. Additionally, using geogrid in flexible pavements helps reduce the amount of water used in the pavement construction process, making the process more environmentally friendly.
