an experimental program was conducted to determine the effects of geosynthetic reinforcement on mitigating reflection cracking in asphalt overlays. the objectives of this study were to asses the effects of geosynthetics inclusion and its placement location on the accumulation of permanent deformation. to simulate an asphalt pavement overlaid on top of a crack in a concrete or asphalt pavement, ...

Asphalt is a kind of temperature-sensitive material. With the decrease temperature, deformation capacity an asphalt mixture will be significantly reduced. When temperature greatly reduced, layer produce large shrinkage tensile stress and strain, resulting in cracking. Therefore, cracking resistance behavior essential for asphalt. In order to study geosynthetics-reinforced under lower temperatur...
