Geosynthetic reinforcement has emerged as a transformative approach in the design of flexible pavements, addressing challenges associated with load distribution, deformation, and material longevity.

The aim of this paper is to develop software for the flexible pavement design based on the AASHTO, Group Index, and CBR. This software can be used to determine the thickness of each layer, design life ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad have developed a novel modelling technique which they say could help in the construction of long-lasting roads in the country. The ...

There have been several talks on the use of flexible or rigid pavements for Nigerian roads. The merits and demerits of both have been well noted. While rigid pavements are costlier, they can withstand ...

Over the years, the asphalt industry has been working hard to improve the longevity of the pavements we drive on. We have acknowledged the fact that the right treatment, on the right pavement, at the ...
