h = (3.24 log10000 + 2.21)*(40000/(36*3)-(300*450/2030)1/2

Use of GeosyntheticsUse of Geosynthetics
h i h l i l f llGeosynthetics help in several ways as follows:o Reinforcement – helps in reducing subgrade stresses and prevents cracking of pavement due to swelling of foundation soil
o Separator – prevents mixing up of layerso Filter layer – prevents piping phenomenono Drainage layer – provides for safe disposal of water
o Asphalt reinforcement – helps in preventing the reflection cracks

Repair of Asphalt PavementsRelatively thin asphalt overlay is constructed on existing pavement (with surface cracks) in order g p ( )to reduce water intrusion, reduce surface roughness, improve skid resistance and increase g , pthe structural capacity. In short time the cracks from the old pavementIn short time, the cracks from the old pavement propagate to the surface of overlay.Thi i ll d fl ti kiThis process is called reflection cracking phenomenon
