  1. TenCateTM Mirafi® Geosynthetics Bruce A Lacina, P.E. Roadway Reinforcement Technical Manager

  2. TenCateTM is a 300+ year old company and the global leader in geosynthetics. We develop and produce materials that increase performance, reduce costs and enable people to achieve what was once unachievable. Our goal is to contribute significantly to progress in the industries in which we work. TenCateTM Geosynthetics make the difference. Geosynthetics Industrial Fabrics Synthetic Grass Protective & Outdoor Fabrics Aerospace Composites Armor Composites

  3. Mirafi® RSi-Series Woven Geotextiles The 1stIntegrated Geosynthetic for Base Reinforcement and Subgrade Stabilization

  4. Mirafi® RSi-Series Woven Geotextiles Integration (hence the “i”) of 4 Key Properties for Base Reinforcement and Subgrade Stabilization - High Modulus especially in CMD - High Water Flow/Permittivity - Separation (US sieve #40) - High Interaction Coefficient (Confinement) - Plus added benefit of Product Identification

  11. 2013 Mid-Continent Transportation Research Symposium Kansas State University Investigation of Bearing Capacity of Geotextile-Reinforced Paved Roads • MiladSaghebfar • Bruce Lacina • MustaqueHossain

  12. Outline • Background • Test sections • Instrument installation • Monitoring • Conclusions

  13. Rutting Under Wheel Loading

  14. Kansas State University Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) Facility • Department of Civil Engineering and the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) developed the APT facility at 1997. • The 18th full-scale pavement test is now being completed

  23. Loading and Monitoring • 18-kip load • 90 psi tire pressure • Truncated normal distribution • Pressure cell, theromcouple and strain readings taken periodically • Transverse profile and rut depth measurments periodically

  30. Strain in geotextiles

  31. Conclusions • Reinforced sections (sections F and H) performed better than the control in terms of rutting and pressure on subgrade. • Pressure and strains in the reinforced sections did not change much until about 100,000 wheels passes. After that, geotextiles was mobilized and these parameters changed considerably.
