Evaluation of Flexible Pavement with Intrusion of Geogride Material Under Fatigue & Rut Test

Dhaval. V. Sheth

Abstract :

It consists of glass fiber strands arranged in a grid structure and covered with a polymer coating. The full range of Geogrid has been specially developed for asphalt reinforcement. It adds to the strength of road, it is designed to turn crack stresses horizontally and dissipate the stress. It helps to reduce reflective cracking for years to coming on Flexible pavement, As reinforcement, it increase the tensile strength characteristics of asphalt concrete. Geogride for pavement rehabilitation provide the functions such as waterproofing, stress absorption and reinforcement between the old and new asphalt concrete overlay. There are a number of different Geogride materials, and with the similarity of many of the names, as well as much similar sounding trade names. The greatest future benefit of Geogride materials is likely to be realized in pavement structures as well as a clearer valuation of immediate and life-cycle cost and benefits. A Geogride material when used with asphalt concrete has shown a serviceable life equivalent to that of an overlay. In this Paper Presentation deals the fatigue test and rut test using with Geogride material. During My Research 2 Types PMB, 3 Types of Geogride Materials used for Direct Tensile strength test & Wheel Tracking test & Fatiuge Beam test carried out. After all test result, I found that Geogride material have more Tensile Strength, Economical and improve pavement life as compare to PMB material used.
