Stabilization of granular/hydraulic pavement layers
Geosynthetics are fundamental polymeric materials in road engineering, designed to enhance the strength, stability, and durability of roads. These materials perform several essential functions, including structural reinforcement, filtration, efficient drainage, layer protection, and separation of different strata. Their adoption has increased significantly in recent decades, driven by their multiple advantages: easy installation, competitive cost, and reduced environmental impact.

The flexible pavement was in an advanced state of deterioration, evidenced by medium-to-high severity deformations and cracking. This condition compromised its structural functionality and posed a direct threat to the road’s durability throughout its service life.
Hollemberg River – Perez River Road Project, Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, Chile
Given this situation, the decision was made to reinforce the granular bases with the addition of T-6 multiaxial geogrids, with the aim of increasing load-bearing capacity and effectively controlling damage propagation. This solution significantly improved pavement performance within the design period, optimizing its structural performance and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
