How Geosynthetics Improve Road Durability and Reduce Maintenance Costs
Geosynthetics have become integral components in modern road construction, significantly improving the durability, stability, and overall performance of roads. These synthetic materials, which include geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, and more, are engineered to address various challenges in road construction, such as soil stabilization, drainage, and erosion control. The use of geosynthetics not only enhances the longevity of roadways but also reduces maintenance costs and environmental impacts. This article explores the different types of geosynthetics used in road construction, their benefits, and their specific applications in pavement design.
