Experimental Study on the Anti-Cracking Performance for Geosynthetics Overlay

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study anti-cracking performance for geosynthetics, the splitting and fatigue test of bituminous mixtures with geosynthetics and without geosythetics are carried out. The mechanical performance for tensile strength and elastic modulus of asphalt mixture are obtained through two tests. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of bituminous mixture are increased by 14.9% and 54.9% respectively. Through adding the geosynthetics overlay to achieve the purpose of retarding the development of cracks in the pavement.
