Summary: | Geosynthetics are commonly used in pavement reinforcement works. There are many references that show and quantify the benefits of their use, but not many of them discuss about their implementation on site. The aim of this paper is to identify the deviation between the empirical statements and the reality, that can be observed in field works. For that purpose, the different stages of several reinforcement operations have been monitored. The results show common execution mistakes that could make differ the properties measured on field from those obtained in the laboratory or mathematical models. |
