Use of Geosynthetic Material Under Fatigue and Rut Tests

Dhaval. V. Sheth

Abstract :

Geosynthetics, used for drainage, separation and reinforcement, are in two forms,- Woven - cloth-like materials with fibers woven perpendicular to each other.- Non-woven - felt-like materials with randomly-oriented fibers. Geosynthetic 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 Geosynthetic materials, and with the similarity of many of the names, as well as much similar sounding trade names. The greatest future benefit of Geosynthetic materials is likely to be realized in pavement structures as well as a clearer valuation of immediate and life-cycle cost and benefits. A Geosynthetic 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 Geosynthetic material. During My Research 3 Types of Geosynthetic Materials used for Wheel Tracking test & Fatiuge Beam test carried out. After all test result, I found that Geosynthetic material have more Tensile Strength, Economical and improve pavement life as compare to PMB material used.
