Effect of the Position of Geotextile on the Performance Parameters of the Flexible Pavement
Abstract: The major deterioration of the flexible pavement is due to the combined effect of fatigue cracking caused by excessive horizontal strain at the bottom of the bituminous layer and rutting deformation caused by excessive vertical strain at the top of subgrade layer. For designing the flexible pavement, it is necessary to determine the minimum thickness of the road crust, required to withstand the expected fatigue life and rutting life. The …
