Effect of strengthening of the ground subbase of road pavement by geotextiles – experimental investigation
Abstract
The paper presents an experimental investigation of the dynamic modulus of deformation of ground subbase performed on the small testing field. The dynamic deformation modulus is assumed to be a measure of flexibility of different model system of the ground subbase of road pavements. Effect of strengthening of ground by geotextile layers was proven in described cases. For a beneficial use of this strengthening effect more full scale testing is needed.
