Description
This experimental study focuses on developing a new laboratory testing model that expedites the performance verification process for future geosynthetic products, for use in foundation stabilisation. Through a series of tensile and pullout tests on geosynthetic and CBR tests on geosynthetic reinforced subgrade using a bespoke CBR mould, this research highlights the benefits of including geosynthetics in granular pavement design. Further research will allow future road pavement designs in Australia to include geosynthetics as part of design specifications and reduce the environmental impact of pavement construction by minimising the required subbase layer thickness without compromising on foundation strength.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
